Former rising Democrat star and almost governor of Florida Andrew Gillum offered a personal update on Instagram in which he talked about recovery, therapy, and how the challenges of being a black man in America is partly what led to him being discovered passed out naked in a hotel room, covered in vomit, along with a male gay porn actor who also advertises himself as a gay escort and happened to be overdosing on meth.

Race stuff starts at about 7:15:

Gillum, who, again, very nearly won the governorship of Florida, and, oh, who also was the 126th mayor of Tallahassee, claims that:

"There's pressure with what we're seeing right now in the country around this Black Lives Matter movement and anti-blackness. I know, as a black man, what it means just to have to convince people that your life has meaning, convince people that your life has purpose.

There's a lot of pressure, and I think it sometimes causes us to look for other ways to try to numb and put ourselves in a different mindset."

OK Andrew.
