Jimmy just likes people who sound angry and are vaguely talking about the issues he cares about (and it doesn't hurt if they are willing to go on his show or give him a plug).
That's why he can can sing the praises of Tucker Carlson even tho he is just being a fascist coopting populist grievances for fascists ends.
Or why he supports Tulsi over Bernie.
Your personal experience is that you think Jimmy Dore has some sort of positive impact on leftist discourse or exposure and shouldn't be disregarded out of hand.
That's fine, that's an opinion, and I'm sure people would be interested to hear you out on it.
The rest was your guess at other people's personal experiences and painting your opinion as the "Black-approved" one, which is then equated with the correct leftist view.
We see that tactic all the time when white liberals defend Bill Clinton.

This comment is a textbook example of using PoC's preferences (as you estimate them) as a stand- in for legitimacy in your reasoning.
And is the ultimate "white college educated middle class" thing to do.
A lot of Black women are inspired to be politically engaged by Neera Tanden. Does that mean Neera Tanden is good?
This line of rhetoric is very patronizing at best, objectifying at worse.
"Before I make my argument, let me just say, I have lots of Black friends..."
