CJ Pearson

“”There is no such thing as "your truth". There is only THE truth — supported by facts and reaffirmed by reality. When will the Left start speaking in terms of policy and not merely emotional platitudes?
—CJ Pearson (Aug 20, 2019)[1][2]
“”I am proud to be a conservative. I am proud to support @realDonaldTrump. I am proud to defend the lives of the unborn. This is MY truth and I will never be ashamed to live in it.

Biography

Pearson grew up in Georgia and started being a token at a relatively early age. Despite his young age, he is competing with older, better-established tokens like Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson, Brandon Tatum, and Candace Owens. While many might find his political views abhorrent, they have to respect the hustle. Pearson began his career at the tender age of 12 when he was kicked off of Facebook for being too conservative young when he made a popular video that criticized Barack Obama.[3]

Career

Pearson is a garden variety conservative wingnut. His views are almost identical to his fellow right wing grifters like Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk. He was astute enough to recognize fairly early that being a token can be very lucrative. Without tokenism, how else would Confederate flag-waving Republicans be able to convince others that they don't really hate black people? That's where people like Pearson come into play.

gollark: Well, like I said, ability to add custom stuff to it, and probably some FOSS firmware available.
gollark: I don't see why I wouldn't want a customizable smartwatch.
gollark: Anyway, my current watch is a £8 LCD one which just shows the time and date, and a smartwatch which you can load custom code and stuff on would be cool to fiddle with.
gollark: I don't agree with "dumb", but otherwise yes.
