This whole shebang right here really shows how shallow and opportunistic the typical centrist's commitment to antiracism really is. Somebody brings up a problem that reflects badly on their team and they start falling over themselves to deny that it could possibly be a problem. Note that not a single one of the usual suspects have even tried to engage with the actual substance, i.e. that PoC leftists feel erased, and instead it's all posting about posters, posting about posting, impugning the motives and character of people who brought up the problem and even denying that the PoC who have spoken and written at length on the topic really matter to the conversation.

Really says it all.

I'm posting about the erasure of POC and women by leftists asserting the Bernie bros were make believe. Somebody brings up a problem that reflects badly on their team and they start falling over themselves to deny it could possibly be a problem.

Besides that, remember when it turned out that there actually was a massive botnet masquerading as "bernie bros" and certain people who had been very into yelling about russian bots and "ratfucking" had to eat a whole lot of crow?

"These POC are being erased and that's bad" is a good and relevant post.

"These POC are being erased and that proves the perfidious racism of the centrist" is a bad and dumb post. And it's hilariously non-self-aware when employed by people who continue to assert that all the women and POC who claim to have been harassed by berniebros are liars.

I'm not "using others as a shield, though." I'm using Gray's tweets and article as examples (which themselves contain other examples) of a female POC leftist whose opinions keep getting erased/silenced/ignored by centrist Democrats. You don't have to listen to my opinion if you don't want to - you don't have to listen to anyone's opinion. But don't act like you're not ignoring the opinion of someone who has been on the receiving end of this erasure, because that's exactly what you're doing, and you know it.

Sorry you don't like to be called on your poo poo? I'll be happy to take my licks if I have silenced a person of color, but I don't need 3-4 white guys telling me how one white guy is more guilty of erasure than the other, and how it makes one side the real racists. The only person that had a good post about the subject was the actual person of color saying that this has happened to them. Everyone else can go gently caress themselves.

I posted an article from a black woman who has had this happen to her (which, in turn, gave several examples of this happening to other black leftists), and getting people to even acknowledge that this was her experience has been like pulling teeth. So I'm not sure your take on this conversation is a particularly accurate one (particularly given that the aforementioned actual person of color backed up what Gray is saying)

Nah, I was just wondering if you'd do some self-reflection after it was pointed out to you that you were literally using PoC as a cudgel in your slapfight, but apparently not.

the important thing is to safely brush the issue of centrists erasing leftists for the crime of disagreeing with them under the table, forever

and, as nevvy has been kind enough to inform us in the past, anyone who points out the profound rejection of minorities this represents both in abstract and in practice should die for their crime in disturbing the otherwise wholly-acceptable-to-comfortable-centrists discourse

I think it was fine to point out that PoC suffer erasure from others, and that it is a bad thing that people shouldn't do. this is a good thing to post about, and it not the issue.

I do not think that then making the conclusion that democrats/centrists/leftists are the real racists is a good take, and it shows that some people are more interested in using people of color as a cudgel than actually dealing with the issue of erasure.

Now you may not think you are doing this, but it seems that almost everyone engaged in that conversation is guilty of the second thing in one way or the other. If I contributed to that then I apologize.

It's a bad thing to erase the expressed views of POC and women.

Which is why I constantly assert that the faction that won the large majority of POC and women's votes during the primary doesn't believe in doing anything for POC or women.

The reason this poo poo gets brought up is because, and JClay just did a great job in demonstrating this, establishment dems have a vested interest in presenting themselves as having a complete and total monopoly on black thought - and when this is shown to not be the case, the "offending" black person functionally ceases to exist because that existence is inconvenient to the narrative.
