The sin of chattel slavery HAS to be repaid.

Black liberation will not come from a class first agenda. Class and race are connected. Some of you don't want to hear this because then you have to address white supremacy. Black Americans are at the bottom and have stayed at the bottom. Universal policies don't fix that.

That said, the only way we can realistically achieve reparations, without seeing the biggest transfer of wealth in history, is through expropriation, which is not going to happen under capitalism.

I support universal policies, but we have to be honest. Even with universal policies, black ppl remain at the bottom. Reparations are owed. Don't vote for anyone who doesn't have a black agenda. Period.

Being black in this country (especially black American) IS in itself a class, in my opinion. Especially when others are treated even slightly better than us in order to sow division within the working class.

@anthonyzenkus
Yes, because as @Jaybefaunt said, being Black in America is itself a class, and it is specifically an economic class. Anti-Black racism robs black Americans of years from their life and money from their pockets and does this generationally.

This is a conversation that many Black Americans don’t want to have. They have convinced themselves and others that The Modern Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and The Civil Rights Act of 1965 fixed the issues of systemic oppression/white supremacy. They have been hoodwinked and bamboozled by master manipulators into believing that The Democratic Party and those who are leaders within the party are Saviors and not savages and that The Republican Party is full of members of the KKK. The truth is the History of both parties and the History of The United States of America 🇺🇸 should be analyzed using empirical evidence instead of propaganda and individuals should use critical thinking skills instead of emotion to unite and create a “more perfect union” that benefits Black People economically, socially, educationally and otherwise (total health and wealth).

A lot of Blacks have already been liberated, & not all are *at the bottom—depending on where you look.
So what exactly do you mean by “black liberation?”

@GroupHome_Tell
If we want to escape the bottom, we cannot live within an institution designed to keep us at the bottom.

When Black people are ready to get free that will be the day we prepare to leave Amazon.com

Question is, can black liberation succeed under capitalist system? If not, then naturally one would focus on taking down the system. It does not mean that improving lives of black folks within the system should be ignored. But that it must be in the context of changing the system.

The class policies only work if there is racial healing and interrogation of whiteness

Until white AmeriKKKa comes to terms that its racism is an issue worth addressing, this cycle of extremist presidency will repeat itself into perpetuity.

Because all a Republican leader has to do during campaign time is tap into the racist underbelly of white AmeriKKKa and he’ll get votes.

Social media made it even easier for them bc of the Red Pill Movement.

Centrist Democrats being cowards that still think that moving right is the solution to get the voters in the middle, opposed to bravely going Left aren’t making it any harder for them either.
I think it's beyond racism now. People are being fooled because they think it's about race. This is classic classism.

The govt jobs and unions being dismantled will not affect just black people. But black people and racist white people think this is about destroying black people. It's not, this is destroying everyone except the wealthy.
It is about Racism enabling the Classism that exists today.

The Ruling Class is predominantly white by design because of Slavery having been a race-based event.

Which transitioned into the current dynamics existing right now, maintained by targeted oppression of Black and other non-white ppl.

While at the same time weaponizing the racism within working-class white ppl which the Ruling Class oppresses too.

It does this to galvanize, secure and maintain political strength.
By reinforcing the racial hierarchy working-class white ppl understand.

So you can’t separate the two, they have a symbiotic relationship.

Some non-white ppl being upperclass doesn’t change the fact that racism is at the CORE of it.
This is what I was explaining to @Dzali OG a couple days ago.

White Supremacy wants ppl to ignore Racism to protect itself.
You can’t thoroughly analyze Class without Race, it’s impossible.

The discussion on this needs to be glamorized just a tad bit, in favor of blacks.

Every time the term “white supremacy” is uttered, by definition alone, it implies black inferiority. It suggest blatant powerlessness.

Word technologists across the fields of academia must band together to phrase this conversation in a more dignifying manner.

Samples:
- white cop beats handcuffed black man

Dignified analysis:
- cop who was bullied in highschool attacks defenseless black man.
- cop whose girlfriend/wife slept with a black man takes revenge on random black man

This is why the "class only" logic is flawed. I see it every time I do mutual aid. Black communites are at the bottom and have stayed at the bottom.

But class first disproportionately benefits the Black community; universal healthcare, if it passed in the 40s under a 4th term FDR, would have dramatically improved health outcomes for Black people. Systemic racism/prison industrial complex always ties back to class

The gov has systematically destroyed any semblance of generational wealth that black ppl have acquired. Seizing land via imminent domain, changing laws, redlining, redistricting, filling private prisons w/our youth, killing our Ldr’s etc..

Indigenous people are at the bottom and have stayed at the bottom. Of course that's not to say black people have it great. 99 percent of the time we're not even discussed.
