This whole entire post triggered me. It’s exhausting to think about.
White conservatives are so scared by the imaginary threat of the black handout, that they continually vote against their own interests. White liberals are so scared of being LABELLED as giving blacks handouts, that they court racists, or have to cloak any progressive legislation in excessive POC rhetoric.
The idea of helping blacks in spite of what has been done to us is SOOOOOOO anathema that they don’t realize if they focused on a black party that emphasized issues facing black communities, EVERYBODY would actually prosper.
Our economy is gutted by racism. We lose billions due to discriminatory policies. Playing on whites fears and insecurities to keep the top 5% wealthy.
Its mind boggling to me that this shyt has worked for such a long time.
