I’m not a black woman so you can feel to tell me I’m completely off base, but sometimes I feel like rhetoric like this is just performatively putting black women on a pedestal of perfection instead of humanizing them. It’s well meaning maybe but looks an awful lot like tokenizing.
wild…when I was at the protests in LA and shit got dangerous protesters yelled at white people to get to the front. Good way to show you’re actually a fucking ally and sadly it keeps people safer
right?
libs and doing the exact opposite of what they ought to do, name a more iconic duo
I have a lib friend who said only black people should be at BLM marches. I pushed back saying that it should be multi racial and white people can be shields to the vulnerable. We didn’t go much further than that. This shit is rampant in lib circles. Like I would like to see mainly black leadership, but this shit is bad.
The biggest threat to the ruling class is poor white people finding out they have more in common with poor black people than they do with rich white people. Because of that, there’s a lot of money, power, and time spent to prevent that from ever happening.
There’s a button in the header bar where the logo is, “Create Post” between “Communities” and “Donate”. You may or may not need a certain amount of points to post. Pretty bad spot to have it tbh.
I’ve actually been worried that BLM has, for lack of a better word, a branding problem. I just got off the phone with both of my Trump-voting parents, and even they think that cops in general are out of control and these ones should have been charged with her murder. I don’t want to diminish the fact that black people are statistically much more likely to experience this in America because racism keeps them as an underclass and the police function as an instrument of the class system to keep them there, but we do need to find a way to make it more clear to working class people across the board that this can happen to them, too.
WE SHOULD MARCH TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY AND UNITY WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WOKE SEGREGATION SHIT I’M TEARING OUT MY HAIR
is anyone kicking non black people out of the march? idk i’m very sympathetic to what this post is trying to say but conflating this with literal segregation just seems like exactly what a chud would say in response to something like this
There’s stupidpol leaking into here, it seems. Did people forget who the pigs’ victim was?
This is not a stupidpol type critique. Yes of course, the pigs’ victims are primarily poor people and have a massive bias toward non white people. Follow the logic - this makes putting black people in the front much much more susceptible to being harmed. Lib identity politics absolutely need to be criticized.
