It's something I'll never understand. The activists putting in work, enters into the most intimate and personal of relationships with the literal enemy.
I have not seen anything close to the things they've seen or have been exposed to, yet, I know for a fact the things I've seen in my lifetime as well as read in my lifetime will never date, marry, have sex with a white woman.
Absolutely boggles my mind.

In their defense, they don't see ALL White people as the enemy.

They see racism as the enemy, as Huey Newton said, "We're not anti-White, we're anti-oppression"

Even Malcolm X walked back his anti-White stances at the end of his life.

At the same time, I see how it looks hypocritical as hell if you talk about "Black love this, Black love that", you end up with a White person.

It’s the news media’s fault too. They prefer noisy confrontations versus actual discussion.

This is partly why the podcast format is taking off, because it’s a return to the old style of engagement.

Blame CNN (for that continuous news cycle) and MTV
