Black Americans, it's time to turn inwards again. Build our own. Support our own. Protect our own.

When you listen to people like David and @indivisible.org they would have you believe AIPAC controls the Democratic Party. Here’s why that’s a lie and it plays to the familiar antisemitic troupe.

Let’s not ever underestimate the financial advantage and wealth generations enjoyed from the labor of the enslaved. That benefit persists through generations, including in positions of power in the government now.
The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

This is not new and AGAIN FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE IN THE BACK. Black Americans have been vocalizing concerns about wealth inequality THROUGH NETWORKS since the early 19th century, often framing it as a direct consequence of stolen labor and systemic exclusion from capital.
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
