💯 Some of the comments on this are wild. You would have thought that I just made up the information in the pictures, and not that I took the information from AIPAC, who was celebrating it! People are mad at me as if I’m the one going after Black politicians!

Thank you for reading and sharing! That surprised me too! I could not believe this man was allowed to do a tour of Black churches and tell Black voters to temper their expectations.

It is inconsistent for Democrats to want to “set politics aside.” To pretend that politics has no place in the discourse regarding Biden’s diagnosis is disingenuous. When Republicans say “not a time to play politics” after a mass shooting, Democrats RIGHTFULLY condemn them.

The liberators don’t have the power to enact. In other words, if a liberator must ask for the change, if they must protest the oppressor, then “liberation” is impossible because the resistance must be permitted to trigger change.

Some of those movements could not fight oppression outside of the grammar of their colonizers, which is why I question what means to be liberated and to fight for it. I’m not against liberation as a sentiment but I’m not sure if we all understand what it means ….

Your answer is what drives my question: if the history is the path, why are we still fighting for liberation? If we look in America, we often say things like “violence” isn’t the way to achieve liberation-although violence sustains oppression.

I get that part. I don’t know what that actually looks like. What does it look like to “fight” without/outside of the rules that facilitate the oppression?
