Why can't Black politics produce a Black version of Zohran Mamdani?

[ajnapoleon]

Why don't we see Black progressives especially on the local level? We get Muriel Bowsers who are basically republican light.

I ask this because in Atlanta the race for city council president we have a corporate dem Black woman running against a clone of Zohran.



She's pro public safety, pro corporatist, republican light and he's a progressive that is probably bad on immigration.

Why can't we get a Black progressive that will work on behave of Black Americans?


Why is Black politics so damn terrible right now?

The ADOS movement is the only sliver of hope we have to get people that align with our interests.

Because we don’t trust each other


I always said Malcom little could have never become Malcom X today

Who and when?

Go look back at his pre-election threads. We always knew he was a fukk up... especially those of us who are from NY

I'm a NY'er whi had some hopes he would be a decent mayor. Considering the failure that was DeBozo (Diblasio) I didn't expect great but acceptable, well enough to the point of getting a second term.

Your WBLS listeners and the legacy Democratic party were all over him. Eg. Lots of people thought he would be 'better on crime' because of his police background etc ... Instead he built a nepo circus administrator and failed.

Buffalo had India Walton

 

[Emoryal]

Because Black progressives and leftists get called agents or weirdos for not towing the moderate democrat lines

So does mamdani

 

[TripleAgent]

Too many factions
Not enough money
Old guard is bought and sold
Too many cǒons
Not enough “real” conversations
Too many CACS all up in the koolaid
Crack / instagram / AIDS

A real black progressive would try to help black people. And we know the name of the game is benign neglect. So they would never put a real black progressive on. What we’re left with is a version of black progressives who do the bidding of their white counterparts in words and actions.

These and any Blacks, especially FBAs, who want Black progress and/or aren't massive c00ns get weeded out early.

what i meant was black americans working to establish an actual cultural core based off lineage and ethnicity

Not having one has been our biggest problem outside white supremacy

Marcel Dixon was that and he got no support outside of FBA. That man is brilliant.

He got too caught up in the Tariq grifting scene. I actually liked him for the most part though.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Because conservatives, centrists, and bothsiders are the most vocal

I remember him making excuses for Trump
