Breh, all you need to do is look at how this 'inclusiveness' has played out since the civil Rights era
Blacks are the most marginalized group in the US by far. On top of that, they are specifically targeted in a way that other groups of people simply are not. Take on too many causes and your voice is simply drowned out by privileged white homosexuals and women who want marginally improved "rights".
The black cause has been trivialized because some black women and black gays would rather discuss bullshyt identity politics and bogus myths like "the patriarchy" instead of tangible issues that effect all black people and are unique to black people.
I could never disagree with the bolded there. Its truth. However, the plight of black women IN PARTICULAR is a root cause of some of the black communities pathologies and insecurities that allow for our continued oppression. If the mothers of our people do not feel safe, secure, protected and confident. How on earth can we expect them to pass positivity to the youth they birth? "The Patriarchy" is very real, but it is run by white men. And you as a black man see that issue of race before gender, and that's fine. But understand that our women see the double issue of race/gender and to not empathize with that is folly. They are vital to our continued progress.
Also, how do you expect the movement to succeed when a gay black man could rise to prominence and actually fight for our people is swiftly de-legitimized by straight black men for no other reason but their orientation. Remember there would be no Montgomery Bus Boycott if not for Banyard Rustin. Remember James Baldwin was one of our greatest minds.
So your threshold of truth is whether or not a Black leader gets killed.
That's Christianity slavery and the mind of a n-gga. Don't even try to mix Black Liberation in with that garbage
No, its my threshold for when the power structure begins to TRULY see the threat of the proletariat and the Black man. Part of all this is because once champions rise out of our people they are immense forces that are truly transcendent and have the power to unite people against a system that has oppressed them. We see it every 80-100 years or so. But the rise of one people usually comes at the expense of another, or at least another people become afterthoughts. However, when the movement began to include poor people of all colors the powers that be knew that it would only be a matter of time before their system was torn down...and thus, assassinations.
Had the men I named not been killed we perhaps may not have seen the growth of income inequality that we see now.
