All that Malcolm X was promoting was that if you are attacked, then you have the right to defend yourself and that we needed to achieve equality by any means necessary. Also, Magneto promoted that Mutants were superior. I also hate X-men analogies because hell yeah I would love me some super mutant powers. We don't even get that and we are still discriminated against.

The overall point is this, if people want to be allies, then they will be allies. None of this wishy washy bullshit that will probably erode the moment things go south.


This reads to me alot like Identity politics and how people shouldn't promote them.

I'm not saying "dont promote social issues" or "black people are to blame", I'm saying that taking the attitude of "we outnumber whites now, gently caress their [actually everyones] issues" was a strategy that got us POTUS Trump. It's not about scaring whites away (every race turnout for dems was depressed), and more that not everyone is into having a political racewar, and minority groups are not a unified voting bloc to the extent people think. It's not as clear cut as "social minorities vs. fiscal whites".

It's hard to talk about because there ARE whites who are essentially telling black people and allies "shut up, you're inconveniencing us" that muddle the waters. But, in my opinion, anyone who is afraid to call out a bad strategy is not your ally. Good allies are like best friends, you want them to be honest with you and willing to keep you from doing something dumb, even if it makes them look like an A-hole.

Asking white people to stop being racist is not a loving social issue. Its a stop being racist issue. Furthermore, black people and other poc don't even make up half of the electorate so what the gently caress are you talking about?

Futhermore, "hold your racist accountable" isn't a goddamn election strategy.

Edit: You aren't an ally, you are a mealy mouth fucker trying to pin white people problems on loving minorities. Black folks were about 13% of the electorate, and almost all of them did the right thing. The gently caress are you on about?

My point was that there are legit critiques of approaches on social issues that sometimes get skimmed over as telling black allies to shut up.

A number of democrat strategists and pundits were banking on minority voters to swarm the booths and drown Trump, allowing them to ignore "white" (working class) concerns. They were wrong (and racist), and the reaffirmation that we can't ignore fiscal concerns is by no means saying "minority issues to the back".

It had to do with the notion that white allies are telling black people to tone down their messagung. That happens in some places, but the current most vocal white allies are not saying that.

Trump won for more reasons than white people being racist. In fact he lost 4 million white republicans with his rhetoric.

It was a post about how to make reparations palatable without changing the name. This involved implementing all-races economic bills and seizing the narrative so that those most vulnerable to racist attacks are willing to support reparations. I admitted that they would benefit white people more, but thats an inherent flaw of the system to be fixed by reparations.

Yes, it was a problem that Clinton thought she could coast on presumed minority turnout, mainly because she's only good on minority issues in the most meaningless way. But to completely blame her half-rear end pandering while ignoring how Republicans scrambled over themselves to gently caress over minority voters once the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act is stupid as hell.

I mean some literal mass disenfranchisement went down in the same manner as when the Confederates got control of the South after Reconstruction, so spare me the idea it was a fair representation of minority vs. white voting power.

This is up for debate, but IMO it had morr to do with economic concerns than racism. Obviously theres passive racism in the sense of "I'm more concerned with survival than raising other groups", but I'd put more blame on Trump promising open factories and Hillary not setting foot in multiple dem strongholds Trump won. Rep. share of the vote was near or less tha it has been previously. It was ours to lose, and we exceeded expectations.

I understand your concerns, but I ask that you be willing to give him and fiscal leftists a chance. There's a reason a majority of young black dems favored him, and thats only going to grow with time.

Plus, y'know, the alternative is these social allies who, one day after the election, was throwing black people under the bus to tear down Keith Ellison.

Trying to gut social security is not working to help poor people. You can blame children for the sins of their ancestors if you want, but people are not born racist, can be turned not-racist, and can be invaluable in the struggle for equality.

This is a strange thing to say to me, seeing as I've said multiple times that one of the faults of the current centrist democrats has been taking minority groups for granted. When I say we failed, I do not mean "we didn't vote enough". It is not on us to support parties, it is on the parties to earn our support.

Less of 'our people' voted for Trump than they did Romney. We (democrats, leftists) beat romney, but a fracture in the coalition killed us this year. We can throw away a unified left front that has wrested control away from those who blame minorities if that is what you want. I don't control your actions nor do I expect such.
