Koalas March posted:I don't think we could convince a lot of hispanics honestly. There's a whole lot of colorism among latin@s (about a third of my family, although not myself is from El Savador so I'm speaking using my experiences with them and others) and a lot of people feel like they also got hosed over by white people, can be hugely racist against black people and dark skinned poc of any kind and would resist a lot on the basis of "Well we didn't do chattel slavery in the US, so why should our tax money go there?" i've noticed, at least in uh, white(?) circles this assumption that all minority groups are going to be on the same progressive side which uh... hrm seems to betray a lack of understanding of people in general really

Mel Mudkiper posted:It's like what you said, yes people who have faced oppression should be able to make connections between their own oppression and the oppression of others. But, I also think the fact that many people don't make that connection is a universal problem and not necessarily a black one. every person that trots out the irish is screaming proof of that

OwlFancier posted:Are you saying this in terms of design, or in terms of the individual voters? part of white supremacy is divide and conquer look at the colonization of south/central america or the playing of tribes against each other in africa during the scramble for the obvious examples my understanding though is that rural white america came out in numbers far and beyond anyone predicted and so we can be flabbergasted all we like about the details, but you can't sidestep the referendum on white men's supremacy
