Black Americans go to Palestine to help the people, are called racial slurs, and are now being vilified for speaking out

Now tell us why you really shared.
@Voice of Reason you caught on to it

Black people always failing to read the room
A 5 year old Ethiopian child would have told you this was going to end badly.

Yea, I posted up complaints by actual Black Palestinians of the racism they receive. While the genocide against them is wrong, I still know they hate us just as much as everyone else does. Oh, they will use us as a mule for their issues, since we are so willing to bend over and be one for everyone, but at the end of the day they expect us to be their servants because they feel we are beneath them. To be frank, many ethnic groups feel the same.

So outside supporting the end of a genocide against them, I care about as much about them as they have shown to care about us.

One day y'all will learn to stop enlisting in the causes of others and concentrate on your own issues (mainly because those other causes rarely, ultimately have your interests).
Suicidal empathy.

She's an idiot. She complained about Black people engaging in "oppression olympics" only to then use the same hierarchy of suffering to dismiss the Black participants experiences with racism. If they're mistreating Black people, it doesn't magically become okay because Palestinians are oppressed. You can't admit that anti-Blackness is global, but then try to hand-wave it by claiming it as "misapplied Western thinking."

That is just a convenient excuse to avoid addressing it. Instead of engaging with what the Black travelers felt, she spent more energy defending her group and downplaying what happened. Using Afro-Palestinians as a deflection only made it worse. You can't call for unity while ignoring people's pain or suggesting they should just "understand" and move on from it. That's blatant erasure.

Having said that, I'm not going to use this situation to judge all Palestinians. I understand human nature well enough to know that every community has people who get it and people who don't get it. There are Palestinians who show real solidarity with Black struggles, just like there are Black folks who stand with Palestine. We should be able to talk about this w/o throwing entire groups under the bus.

What's also annoying is how this is being weaponized by Zionist bad actors who have never cared about Black people. They rationalize anti-Black racism in their own ranks, treat African asylum seekers like garbage, and love to trot out Ethiopian Jews as a shield, just like the woman in the video tried to use Afro-Palestinians to deflect criticism. It's all exploitation.

Arabs racist? Ain’t no damn way.

 

[GreenGhxst]

When I hear things like this it just causes me to go into theatre mode

my empathy vanishes and tbh I don't like it because it takes more than it gives but what else am I to do

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

Any word from the black people who supposedly went on this trip?
