1) FIRST OFF I DON'T fukk w/BLACK MAGA's..But ff a black conservative is a republican that doesn't bother me b/c it's an individual choice
black republicans bother me because you have to be willfully obtuse to cape for a party that actively implements policy to limit rights of black people. dems are not perfect, but i do see where black people have legitimate power through the dem political mechanism. black dems have direct control over policy and legislation in our communities. they're not perfect, and have to battle state republicans in many cases, but when you talk about black people having political power i don't see this with repubs.
notice you will rarely hear a serious black republican
TELL other black people to vote republican (ain't talking about jesse peterson). Post that video if you have it.
what is a serious black republican??
perhaps colin powell? you see his stance on the current admin...
2) Malcolm was a "both-sider" so I don't fall to pieces when people make that argument, if they provide receipts then respect it.
its annoying af when people try to channel malcolm as a champion of why they don't choose a side. i have a ton of respect for malcolm, but his views were evolving and not the end all be all. same for mlk . there's no way to tell how malcolm would view the current landscape today. i expect he would still be critical, but perhaps he would also set expectations and hold people to it. shyt, he could have started a new political party if he wasn't killed. same for mlk.
3)
Democrats struck a deal w/black america, they've been our allies and they ruined us, they didn't fulfill their end of the bargain - in fact they enriched themselves off of our vote
imo that's a very shallow view of what happened. completely avoids the reality of republicans sabotaging the entire process and actively disenfranchising black people.
there's also the reality that we have not kept up the pressure and forced the issue. we got complacent. vote and go back to business as usual wont work. took a long time to acknowledge that, but i feel like that's changing. and if it stays consistent, the dem party is where we have the power to choose our leadership and hold them accountable. also our best option to splinter and create our own platform. the infrastructure is already there.
Alex jones is a little off and I haven't really consistently followed him since college over a decade ago
Huh? alex jones was the shyt when I was in college, he use to stay on Bush's ass and his videos exposing bilderberg and bohemian grove were shared everywhere
in for the foolery
now this was a creative way to avoid addressing it, I'll give you that.
