Republican recall frontrunner Larry Elder called ‘Black face of white supremacy’
Los Angeles radio host mocks L.A. Times article for playing 'race card'

California recall candidate Larry Elder may be Black, but as far as some progressives are concerned, he‘s also the “face of white supremacy.”
A Friday column in the Los Angeles Times ran the headline, “Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned,” calling the conservative Los Angeles radio host’s candidacy “an insult to Blackness.”
Mr. Elder, known as the “Sage from South Central” in a reference to the minority working-class Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up, was quick to respond to the headline.
“You’ve got to be real scared and desperate to play the race card against the brother from South Central,” tweeted Mr. Elder.
Mr. Elder leads the field of Republican recall candidates seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in the Sept. 14 special election.
