Right now, it is a fringe movement that isn’t making any real impact. There is merit to it, especially the emphasis on delineating our unique experiences. However, while I agree that this distinction is important, the messaging many of you use is often unfocused. Rather than basing your advocacy on a set of principles aimed at seeking justice with a cohesive plan for reparations and policy changes, you spend too much time warring, roasting, and taking your frustrations out on Black immigrants (Tariq especially), which detracts from the actual cause. It doesn’t help that a failed entertainer and pimp fractured the movement by inserting his own spin on things and going to war with them too. This is nonconstructive at best and destructive at worst (again, Tariq especially). We should be able to recognize these differences without adopting so much of the negative rhetoric. That’s not to say that those who talk shyt shouldn’t get shyt talked back.
