i saw the gay cnn guy using this term in discussion with a guest speaker who was talking about non black minorities benefiting from groundwork we laid. specifically in reference to the new minority dem reps like aoc and the muslim lady. the gist of their discussion was do they really connect with issues important to black people? there is some overlap, but then i saw aoc saying reparations were larger than just black folks. i cant rock with that. reparations are for black people first and foremost. period point blank.
good to see distinction being made, but my concern is whenever something for us goes mainstream it risks getting watered down and co-opted. this is also why its important for us to push black candidates from the local level on up who connect with the distinction.
