He's trying to explain why older black people didn't vote for Zohran.
But it seems what he didn't get in the older black crowd, he got with a younger audience. I think Bernie had similar rates. Progressive policies tend to appeal more to younger people who have nothing compared to older people who are trying to focus on protecting what they have.
He just kind of used this video to talk about his personal problems with progressives and he doesn't really offer much in the way of clear solutions, hence why his own audience is confused.

I generally agree with his point on Bernie bros and while progressives. They're tone death, don't know how to talk to people, and generally hostile as fukk. They have great ideas, but if you can't get your message across to who you need it to get to, then you can't be an effective leader.

I just felt this video was very vague in its critique. like he didn't really make a point and if you weren't clued into why Bernie didn't connect with some black voters, he doesn't try to do even a modicum of explanation about what went wrong and how Mamdani can avoid the problems Sanders had.
I love how "Coli Breh" is such a catch-all term.
On the one hand, this is a Coli Breh

Great video clearly explaining that white progressives aversion to “identity politics” especially around race will continue to alienate black voters, especially older ones who's lived reality has made aligning with a politician who's actively ignoring identity incompatible….
White progressives if they actually want to reshape the democratic base will need to have better messaging to blacks to win more than just local mayoral races...even if those races are in the “biggest” city in America.…. You'll have need to engage and communicate around issues and problems outside of replying with simple class reductionist babble that a lot of black people will see as ignoring the inherent anti black nature of the American political structure.… if they can't do that they'll end up stalling out like Bernie did.…and it'll simply be what it be.… more rallys more Sunday morning talk show appearances but none of the radical change at the national level they claim to strive for
I think he communicated these ideas effectively and any so called “confusion” about what he's communicating almost certainly comes from white liberals impulse to get defensive around this specific topic.…
There is a marriage to be had between democratic socialist politics and the larger black voting base but it is on the people driving the movement to navigate themselves to that matrimony

nikka nerds and shills will clown hoteps and militants on here for listening to Umar and Tariq but turn around and listen to cats like this dude.

That's a general problem in politics to begin with and its made worse when there's no party unity.
The democratic party benefits from Finance and Tech which are basically the two sectors holding up the American economy. The offer democrats have to black people is that they'll give us symbolic "victories"(like appointing Kamala as VP and using black women to be the face of Biden's unpopular policies) and offer means-tested policies that will give the party impressive sounding numbers to quote when campaigning, but not noticeably change the material conditions of most people.
Republicans can all agree on these things:
-They don't want anyone to have the option of aborting a pregnancy.
-They don't want transgender people to be openly transgender in public life and to hold any position of power no matter how small or meaningless.
-They want white people to remain the dominant socioeconomic group in America no matter what. They understand that latinos make up a statistically important population and it's growing whilst their population is stagnant or shrinking.
-They do not want the black population to ever go above 15% of the American public and want to limit our level of power and influence in everything.
-They do not want anyone to have public services beyond the absolute bare minimum like roads. They want the tax revenue to go to corporate bailouts, subsidies, and the military. e.g. things that the public and the already rich can invest in and make money off of. Privatization has been the goal for literally decades.
-They agree that its good that America gives weapons to Israel because the demand for those weapons fattens the pockets of domestic arms manufacturers.
There isn't a whole lot that democrats can agree on right now which are extremely important:
-They can't agree on sending money to Israel.
-They can't agree on immigration(remember, trumps border czar used to work for Obama. Obama wanted a right winger doing this to try and win trust among conservatives. By doing so he basically agreed on republican framing around immigration which is fueled by fears of the weakening of white supremacy.
-They can't agree on criminal justice reform to keep black people from being separated from their families.
-They can't agree on universal healthcare.
-They can't agree on regulations on finance to prevent it from having further control of the political system.
-They can't agree on public service infrastructure like investments in high speed rail, public transportation, energy projects like nuclear power plants, dams, or solar farms.
-They can't agree on taxation of the wealthy and corporations.
In order for a boat to move forward, all paddlers need to be in sync. What democrats focus on is the veneer of progress whilst refusing to admit that they've given up too much power to big industries. If a progressive shows up and talks about:
-Campaign finance reform(specifically banning superpacs, and setting limits on how much money a campaign can recieve from an individual donor before the rest is taxed and automatically allocated to medicaid and other public programs)
-Banning stock trading for elected officials to reduce conflicts of interest.
-Mandatory retirement age of 65 for all elected officials, and mandatory yearly fitness tests and examinations which are administered by randomly selected medical programs from colleges and universities across America. The results are of course made public.
-Immediate federal investigation for any homicides done by law enforcement if the suspect was unarmed.
-A serious federal housing program which will provide funding for local housing projects and a jobs pipeline for getting unemployed people back to work providing logisitical support and labor to build these homes across america.
-A network of public universities that will be heavily subsidized, additional subsidies for black institutions which will make it FREE for people who want to go to an HCBU to go to one, and affordable for people who want to get a college education everywhere.
-Massive tax hike on private insurance companies with the income being used to expand Medicare and Medicaid funding.
-Massive funding for criminal justice reform projects like the innocence project to get millions of wrongfully convicted people out of jail, and funding for anti-recidivism programs to keep people out of jail and in employment.
-A diplomacy based foreign policy that focuses on non-intervention, negotiation with all parties, and normalization attempts with countries that haven't been a threat to anyone in years(e.g. Cuba)
-NO funding for Israel until it is compliant with international law--literally the laws america helped write!
-Paths to citizenship for undocumented workers who have no criminal record, and an immigration czar that actually focuses on making sure that employers are checking the citizenship status of their employees.
-Increased funding for the IRS and SEC to go after frauds and scams in crypto, stocks, and tech.
-Regulation of tech companies including the breakup of Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.

That candidate would face pushback from BOTH parties regardless of how popular that candidate and their policies are. They'd go all out to stop someone like that from ever being in a position where they could enact any of these parts of their agenda. Democrats pander to black people with promises they know they won't keep and that they know that white people would immediately have a backlash to. If it's a program that they can't benefit from, they don't want their tax money going to it. That's just a fact about white voters that people need to understand. They don't care how morally correct it is to level the playing field because self-interest overrides any principles they claim to profess. No matter what, they refuse to be uncomfortable even if that discomfort is short term and will benefit them in the long term. The only way to get programs in place that will benefit black people, is if white people understand those programs as being available for them too. For example, HCBUs are not segregated institutions. If you're white, you can go to an HCBU but most white people don't go to them because they'd rather go somewhere else. Most white people are making over 30k a year, so they won't utilize the programs that would benefit the overly large amount of black people who make less than 30k a year. Most white people own homes and have apartments that they've been able to afford for years. Housing insecurity is a much bigger problem in black communities since so many of us weren't in the position to build generational wealth due to racism. Affordable housing theoretically benefits white people, but it would benefit black people far more.
The key is universal programs that will have an outsized impact on black communities because we were left out of so many programs that allowed the white working class to build wealth. To the extent that we were able to access some of those programs in the past, it made a major difference in the lives of black families(such as unionized black workers being able to make more money than black workers who weren't in a union) or black veterans being able to access benefits that helped them save money and pass wealth on to their families. Or job programs that put everyone to work, and helped cut black unemployment.

This is why i felt he should've done a full video instead on his main channel. Cause he could've went more in depth
Usually the best sides be more so movies or entertainers so I don't get why he chose this route unless to preview some points he'll revisit in a full vid

Can't watch the video, but I'm not surprised. White progressives are still WHITE. Non-black people are still non-black.
Ironically enough, about the "African-American" thing, the over-the-top Zohran dikklicking is legitimizing ADOS/FBA's delineating objective, while progressives love to hate on these movements
