DeRay McKesson Over the course of the past year, DeRay Mckesson has become the most visible activist and spokesperson for racial justice in America. So it isn't surprising that those who oppose what he stands for would attempt to discredit him every chance they get. What's wild about this is that Mckesson is about the most calm, measured, methodical, thoughtful spokesperson this movement could ever have and instead of seeing him as such, conservative pundits and politicians have consistently attacked him as the enemy. The recent attack comes from Rand Paul and Fox News.
