I mentioned him in here a few months ago as someone who should be ignored.

He's not going to win. Despite being personally nice, he's a crook.

But if it is seen by some that White liberals are trying to kill off a Black man's candidacy, Brown now has an angle to work and free publicity to exploit.

He's more dead ignored than he is challenged.

I'd think most people, after the last few years, are just sick of corruption and will just stay away from anything that smells of that. Maybe I have too much hope in humanity. Also, not sure where "White liberals are trying to kill off a Black man's candidacy" is coming from?

the case was brought by Jeff Brown's campaign lawyer.

Yes, it was. For unfortunately obvious reasons.

My argument was not fleshed out due to time constraints. Occasionally, I work.

Jeff Brown may be behind the action, but perception often supercedes reality. Do not give Amen Brown any opening to be seen as persecuted.

Amen Brown has zero chance to win. Let the dead rot quietly.

It may have something to do with the fact that they share a last name and are neighbors on the ballot

We saw a somewhat similar playbook work in the 2003 General Election with Street and Katz.

He's not the only black person running. I think Cherelle Parker has a good shot

Cherelle Parker is ok and from my area but she turned me off a bit when she came out trying to argue for bringing stop n frisk back. her and Green and DeLeon I feel like probably might win out if they dont split the vote though, because i feel like the policy wonks and progressive types are going to split over Rhynhart or Gym.

Amen Brown has a good story and seems like a nice guy but i got no interest in a guy being funded by Jeff Yass, if you don't know him it's this guy.
