Yes, when I read Du Bois "Africa in battle against colonialism, racialism, imperialism" or Robert F Williams or MLK's "Beyond Vietnam" or Harry Haywood, that is exactly the idea that I get.

Here are some black people I read, checkmate :smug:. I read some niggas and this nigga doesn't know his niggas like i know his niggas.

My point was that using "they" when talking about "The establishment dem" or "Centrist" or whatever is missing the point of their objections to Civil Rights issues. It has nothing to do with their political philosophy, but their adherence to whiteness.

But I am making the case that white supremacy has and always will override political philosophy for most white Americans all over the spectrum.

Hell, go to Twitter and go into the mentions of any prominent black person (especially a black woman) and you will see roses and right wingers alike letting their racism out on full display.

The US means us, as in black people, not the United States you dipshit.

Those battles had little to do with black folks and was one of the biggest parts of why the civil rights movement got pushed so hard. Work programs and other labor movements were not extending to black communities.

I read Negro Liberation, and yes Haywood ties the Marxist philosophy into the black power movement. None of these things have to do with my point.

White leftist movements in this country have consistently been hesitant to include black folks and usually when concessions are made by the government through the parties, black folks are entirely excluded or are used as scapegoats.

Edit:

A whole rear end article about leftist movements and white folks posted:

Prior to founding of the Communist Party USA, the Socialist Party was the dominant organization of the U.S. left. The right wing of the Party was seriously infected with white chauvinism and national chauvinism. Right-wing leaders of the Socialist Party refused to oppose (or openly supported) the ‘whites only’ restrictions that existed in a number of trade unions. The worst elements of the Socialist Party excused and soft-pedaled the lynching of Blacks, which had grown to epidemic proportions in the U.S. South. Not surprisingly, many of these same right-wing leaders of the Socialist Party would emerge as supporters of the first imperialist world war and still later show themselves to be fervent opponents of the Soviet Union.

The left wing of the Socialist Party had a more varied set of strengths and weaknesses in its approach to African American oppression. Generally speaking, the left of the Socialist Party ideologically opposed blatant white chauvinism, sometimes criticized racist discrimination in society as a whole and opposed the exclusion of Blacks from the labor and socialist movements. In the course of doing so, there were some episodes of real heroism.

But the left of the Socialist Party had an extremely serious weakness - a refusal to grasp the importance and seriousness of Black oppression, and more importantly doing very little real work to fight racist discrimination, especially when that oppression existed outside the confines of purely trade union issues.2 While the sources of the weaknesses were varied, ranging from ultra-leftism (negating the fight for reforms of any kind under capitalism) to the simple accommodation to white chauvinism, the result was exactly what one would expect: African Americans remained largely outside the organized socialist movement; the organized socialist movement had relatively little influence in the Black freedom movement; and the struggle against the U.S ruling class was weakened in the process.

Edit:




This is only remotely true if you think that "the left" is democratic party or the socialist party, which undercuts your entire premise. Also, I like how the article you quote undermines your own point, and that you are dishonest enough not to link to the original article because you know the rest of it undermines your own post.

Here's the link:

http://frso.org/wp/the-third-international-and-the-struggle-for-a-correct-line-on-the-african-american-national-question/

Specially:

quote:

As for African Americans, the 1930 resolution states:

“It is the special duty of the revolutionary Negro workers to carry on tireless activity among the Negro working masses to free them of their distrust of the white proletariat and draw them into the common front of the revolutionary class struggle against the bourgeoisie.”

The point here is that revolutionary African Americans should struggle against narrow nationalism.

The Communist Party in the 1930s

The end of capitalist stabilization and the onset of the great depression in 1929, coupled with the leap in the Party’s understanding of the Black national question, led to a sharp struggle against white chauvinism and created the basis for the extraordinary advances in the 1930s.

In the Deep South, the Party mobilized poor farmers (sharecroppers) and the result was explosive battles. A fight against the legal lynching of nine young African Americans, the Scottsboro case, was the focus of a worldwide campaign, where hundreds of thousands were mobilized from Mississippi to Moscow. And the Communist Party made extraordinary efforts to bring more Black workers into the ranks of organized labor.

The net result was a developed base among all progressive classes in the Black community. The position of the multi-national working class was strengthened in the process, as was the communist movement..

That article also leaves out the Communist abandoning Haywood in the late 50's, and the black movement completely in 1959, which ironically is when it really started popping off. Granted they got Angela Davis on board in the late 60s but then has done jack poo poo since.

Quit assigning agendas to the words that I type fuckhead.

Edit: Socialist ARE the left in the United States. Communists are practically non-existent.

Oh my loving god. Do you not read even the articles you yourself quote? The Socialist Party is a specific organization. One which, as your own loving article states, split into the Communist Party in 1919 (meaning that it was the dominant force on the left only from 1901 to 1919). From which point the Communist Party was the main leftwing organization in the US until the late 50s with the multiple revisionism/anti-revisionism splits and the crack down from the red scare. Nothing to do with whether people are socialists or communists. I am sorry, but I am done. It's clear you don't know what you are talking about and will just try to find something to quote, while hiding the link because you know it proves you are full of poo poo.

For anyone else interested, I highly recommend the book Hammer and Hoe, or if you just want the gist:

While it’s true that the left (and for this, I also include the leftward portion of the Democratic Party) is better on racial issues than the right, it behooves white people to remember their inherent racism and listen and respond thoughtfully to the voices of people of color.

Oh, i agree. Which is why on the topic of the relationship between the civil rights movement and the left i like to read what the actual people living the civil rights movement had to say, as opposed to whatever whitewashed nonsense you find online.

That’s sort of a problem in and of itself, though. We get to gawk at the freaks and cretins but the really awful actors in the future are just going to get this ‘meh’ like the early days of Gorsuch and no one will think twice about what’s happening. Dick Cheney’s eviler twin could get installed into the VA and ‘purity test’ would crop up now that Barry Goldwater’s become our barometer.

Yet it feels weird to go after Doug Jones of all people when that list of 39 names includes people who are much easier to squeeze or primary out like multiple senators from eternally blue states (MD, DE, HI, etc.)

On the other hand, the NAYs are probably a good indicator of who's thinking of a run in 2020:

Booker (D-NJ)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Harris (D-CA)
Markey (D-MA)

I love when people say dumb poo poo like "you're just saying that to get people to like you"

yeah.. people tend to like you when you aren't a racist/sexist shitrag.

It's one of those statements that reveals so much about the person saying it. Especially when it's used against a genuine anti-racist post (not like Kilroy's venting). They're so unconsciously racist they can't even imagine another yt who actually gives a gently caress about black folks. It's completely improbable and alien to them, so it must be some kind of scam.

Anyone remember when we used to get a lot of posts like that in the Negrotown thread when it was still in D&D? That poo poo was wild.
