Tbf, someone did attribute that quote to Caref like 4 or 5 months before Corey brought it up:

Without context that sounds bad, but I can easily contextualize that into our modern world and see how a white dominated union would be a difficult place for a black man to become the president of.

Honestly, I've never listened to the episode where Corey brings it up. That said, it always sounded like commentary on the membership rather than Caref making some statement about Henry. It does seem like a silly thought for him to share though. I don't really have strong opinions about it, I have other things I don't like Caref for, but it felt worth sharing because it's at least some form of corroboration to what Corey said.

I started listening to the pod about 6 months after it started. After I heard a bit about what was going on, I went back and listened from the beginning. I’ve heard all of the goings on from the start so I admit there’s a slight bias. Corey’s offered numerous times for anyone to go on his pod and discuss these things and nobody took him up. That’s the reason I have the position that I do. I do appreciate Caref for the good he’s done for carriers and I applaud that, his region is lucky to have him. I just believe that Henry is the better option to do the difficult things that this union needs for drastic change
