'''Coreco Ja'Quan "CJ" Pearson''' {{lived|2002}} is America's youngest [[tokenism|token black guy]]. At just {{age|2002}} years old, he is the person that aging boomers most commonly bring up when they want to show others that they're not a racist and are still hip.

==Biography==
Pearson grew up in [[Georgia]] and started being a token at a relatively early age. Despite his youth, he is competing with older, better-established tokens like Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson, Brandon Tatum, and [[Candace Owens]]. While many might find his political views abhorrent, they have to respect the hustle. Pearson began his career at the tender age of 12 when he was kicked off of [[Facebook]] for being too 
conservative
 young when he made a popular video that criticized [[Barack Obama]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/09/25/why-did-a-13-year-old-conservative-star-apparently-hoax-the-white-house/ Why did a 13-year-old conservative star apparently hoax the White House?] by David Weigel (September 25, 2015) ''The Washington Post''.</ref>

==Career==
Pearson is a garden variety [[conservative]] [[wingnut]]. His views are almost identical to his fellow [[right wing]] grifters like Candace Owens and [[Charlie Kirk]]. He was astute enough to recognize fairly early that being a token can be very lucrative. Without tokenism, how else would [[Confederate flag]]-waving [[Republicans]] be able to convince others that they don't really hate black people? That's where people like Pearson come into play. Given his online support for Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign, some believe Pearson is actually in it for the cash.
