So then was she mistaking Shaka King for Regina instead?

[djbbgoose]

Or is she just asking all blacks about other blacks whether or not they’re related?

She explained on Twitter that she wanted to ask him what Regin not getting nominated meant for the community which made this even worse bc what is Daniel supposed to say? It's not like he's a spokesperson for all Black people.
