SHERMICHAEL SINGLETON: I'm a strategist, I don't need to be lectured about electoral politics. PAUL MECURIO: The fact that you're an African American doesn't mean that I can't make this point. Absolutely insane interaction on CNN tonight.

WATCH: CNN's Shermichael Singleton Singleton the debate around Confederate statues... "This is an important topic, and I mean, obviously, I grew up in the South, the confederacy, they were treasonous. There is no logical reason for me, for any American who loves this country to be in support of them. Now. I understand your point, Jason, about political overcorrection like capitalism as white supremacy, I don't necessarily agree with that. I'm very pro-capitalist, but these monuments do tell a story, a very horrid story, part of our country's history. And to me, when you think about those black slaves and black Americans today and this herculean effort, you have doctors, and lawyers, and entertainers, and athletes. We should be proud of that history. We did something really bad, but look how far black people have been able to come. What we've been able to accomplish, I mean, that story is a story that isn't told in most parts of the world." "And so, why would you want to change that? Why would you want to water it down? We should embrace it. We should be proud of it. And we should be proud of what black Americans have been able to accomplish. And so, to me, when you see these stories, and earlier we were talking about black men, and we were talking about the black men that supported the President. And I have been very loud about this for a long time now. This is this odd duality about the Republican Party. We make a couple steps forward with attracting people of color, and then you have individuals with very obvious racial views. In my personal perspective, I'm just being honest, that make decisions where if you're a strategist trying to engage with members of that community, they say, maybe I agree on capitalism, maybe I agree about social conservatism, maybe I agree about strong military defense. Maybe I'm very anti-DSA, or maybe I'm not very liberal. But, you know, on the race stuff, I just can't stand with you guys on the race stuff." "It makes people like me -- my job very damn difficult to do because black men in particular may agree on every other issue. But when you come to this, most people will say, I can't stand with you guys on this point. I just can't. It's a constant battle in my party, going back multiple presidencies where we've had this infighting, how progressive, and I don't mean in the liberal sense, but how progressive should the party be with being open and welcoming to people of color? And that also means acknowledging what the history of the country is, and that's okay. Technology -- it doesn't mean you're erasing it. It doesn't mean you're looking down on our white brothers and sisters. But what it does mean is it existed."
