Antonio and Yvette use data and not rhetoric and platitudes and that makes their detractors furious.
Yes community building and organizing via group economics or other tools is important.
But Government creates wealth, it created the White working and middle class.
That's not debatable.
And without that type of help, we will be a permanent underclass.
And that means challenging and overturning a capitalist political ecnomy undergirded by government policy.
Nobody is denying the government is what got white folks where they're at today. What I'm saying is ridiculous is that you all expect that SAME GOVERNMENT ran by the descendants of the SAME WHITE SUPREMACISTS to all of a sudden have a come to Jesus moment and help us.
Its not about a handout but economic justice. Considser analogy she used towards the end of the vvideo about a woman getting most of her money stolen and coming back home to her spouse only to tell her to make due with what she has left. Pretending we dont deserve justice only perpetuates a cycle of failure and victim blaming.
Y'all keep confusing what's really going on out here. NOBODY is saying we don't "deserve" what we're owed. Of course we deserve economic justice. But if we're going to REALISTICALLY receive this justice we need to build ourselves up to actually be able to throw our influence around. We need to make real allies with the diaspora if we ever actually plan on challenging this system. @Poitier thread in the root speaking on our liberation is probably the most thorough and realistic plan we could follow compare to the typical "group economics" and "group economics won't work" arguments that keeps our people stuck in the mud arguing on social media...
Imagine Jews begging Nazi's to "bring justice" without their economic base and foreign allies like how we do in ameriKKKa. They'd still be stuck in Germany
