The fact that Castro is so far behind Biden, Warren and Sanders means that the Democratic party decided it’s a White candidate or bust. I absolutely will not be surprised if Biden gets the nomination and then proceeds to lose to Trump next year. Buttigeig (however you spell that shit) is hoping that White people will…
There is nothing he can say to me that would make me vote for him in the primaries, though, should he win, I’d walk across broken glass to vote for him.
Same deal with Sanders, he barely knows anything about minorities considering his asinine insistence that black folks should “Respect the police” completely ignoring context.
Because white news reporters are literally color blind but have extra fine perception for beige scale.
He’s nothing more than Log Cabin Republican. And he knows nothing about Black people. And Castro, a superior candidate, who actually understands black people is barely getting any traction.
They believed in you and it really speaks to what they saw in you. Look at you now. You have a whole lot of people that are so thankful for you. Keep writing truth to power and we will continue to read, learn, and grow.
Uhm No....Similar efforts in a less red state would probably lead to an electoral victory. Besides, the top of the ticket in Texas, Florida and Georgia especially pushed alot of down ballot races over the top.
OK, let’s continue the trend: Put up a statue of Tecumseh, with his moccasined foot atop the head of a defeated European American soldier. Celebrate Ohio’s history.
Anyone attempting to preserve a Confederate monument should be required to read South Carolina’s (the first state to secede) Declaration of Secession in it’s entirety, and then declare that is history they are trying to preserve.
Even Robert E. Lee realized that the “South” lost the Civil War and he wasn’t even buried in his uniform. There was even a request that the soldiers weren’t allowed to attend his funeral ceremony, if they wanted to wear their uniforms. He even considered the Confederate Flag to be the symbol of treason. Gen.…
“Golly. It’s almost as if naming white allies the “worst wypipo in the world” might have a deleterious effect on political cooperation.”
I overheard a lot that the black women are so angry BS in DC as well as white women claiming trans rights are women’s rights signs were in bad taste and divisive towards women who didn’t support that sort of thing. If white women can’t directly benefit from something they don’t want anything to do with it and they…
How well-meaning could they be if they aren’t willing to put into practice? People get worn the eff out living in survival mode in a first world country. The more things change, the more they stay the same (by being complicit in a bad system).
This is an area where I’ve been so disappointed in the direction of progressive political organizing. I think the failure to have an effective strategy for engaging marginalized communities like women of color or a vocabulary for articulating one that speaks to their concerns really does a disservice for bringing…
So I am part of my local Democratic organizing committee and we participated in the local march instead of the one in DC. Because of our role in the community, we got a lot of interest. Afterwards, I overhead some of my acquaintances talking about how some of the Black women and other WOC had made “angry” signs. Which…
All over every FB political justice page too. And at the women’s march the Black women who attended “seemed too angry”.
An ongoing frustration is the (long-standing) movement of white liberals pushing back against Black women for this very sentiment. I have seen it all over Kinja and growing in most recent months. Go into any post about politics and you will see the onslaught of white people lining up to tell a Black woman that she is…
Lions, too. LIONS!! THEY ARE GAY PRIDES, how can you possibly be against that?
