It always amazes how quickly we cling to white supremacist rhetoric. Theres nothing pro-black about this statement at all.
a lot of dudes on here parrot goofy white wing political stances thinking they are spitting something deep :mjlol::mjlol:all y'all doing is jacking and putting a supposedly "pro black" spin on it

That’s admirable,

most people don’t have the courage to do that. Me as well, because i know i will be denied employment opportunities because of it. The fact it’s so crazy to us to be on that level and have a Afro points to the discrimination against black hairstyles in school and the workplace. Afros braids and all that are essentially African styles with our black American flair. We been so programmed by white america through our trauma to where many black people look at these natural black hairstyles or names as ghetto and in appropriate.. Braids , afros, and dreads are completely natural for us. But it’s treated as fads, radical or thug style to non blacks. He is Awesome for that. And maybe it inspires more to the point it changes. The trauma we have been through is real

Its amazing how we think political/social movements that benefited white people will also benefit us. White people have tricked us that their struggles = Our struggles

Its either you have Economic segregation from this society to form our own identity, or you will continue to be 2nd class citizens. This is why Politicians never SPECIFICALLY mention Black people, because they don't have to. We are the 2nd class invisible group they can give two fukks about
How did has Black identity politics helped whites? I hope you dont mean "Race" identity politics because that is a flat out lie. America was built on Race politics, it nearly split in half because of it.

But it sounds like you're arguing for Identity poltiics and against it. I understand your apprehension to both it White supremacey has historically prevented them from succeeding.

There's video essay with great resources that better explains this point than I can



Start from 5.45 mins to 15 min.

Politicians never outright mention Us because its advantageous not too. Whenever poor minorities to click up with poor whites, thinly veiled White racism from those in power breaks us apart. When Blacks try to go our own way, poor WS stamps us out(Tusla, Rosewood, etc).

Attacking Identity politics is like the 2nd lesson in the WS handbook.

https://www.wbaltv.com/article/55-percent-of-baltimore-adults-vaccinated-against-covid-19/36631348#




Mayor Brandon Scott on Friday announced more than 55% of city's adult population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine -- that's a 1% gain in the span of one week -- about 4,400 additional doses administered.

"We are making steady progress toward our goal of 65% of the adult vaccination before the health commissioner lifts the mask requirement for indoor spaces," Scott said.

Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzirasa said the city will keep its indoor mask order in place until at least 65% of adults have received at least one or the single-dose vaccine
