It’s not that I think a general strike wouldn’t work. I absolutely think a general strike would work. My problem is that you folks want to skip to the end but you get angry and defensive about discussing the road through.
There is no infrastructure in place to initiate, let alone sustain a strike.

This does not negate the mis-implementation & ever-evolving definition of freedom. It is as complex as the American experiment.
And if there wasn't value in our idea & EMBODIMENT of freedom from our ancestors to now the MAGA witches wouldn't be trying to claim Hoodoo (a closed ethno-religion).

Black Americans are the most American/patriotic people I know because we actually have fought and believe in freedom.
And until yall get that in your heads, you will never love yourselves or your ancestors to the fullest capacity.
You are the embodiment of freedom whether you know it or not.

Not to be a party pooper but there was also increased violence on Black people in the South, especially lynching which increased the Great Migration. So also tap into community care as well. We will need it.
