That we'll never see liberation as long as a fraction of us continue to aspire to the capitalist's brass ring.
Bars. I wish more black people understood that. It's so frustrating to know that so many people don't want to get ride of the misery machine, they just want a black face on it. Which is almost understandable to me for a particular subset of black people, I don't know the age cohort name or whatever but black people who came of age in 60's and 70's and even the 80's. I feel like those people have this weird blend of earnest liberalism, where they believe the all of the whooie of the DNC subsuming/consuming the post civil rights era momentum.
I feel like a lot of those people believe in a DNC that simply does not exist anymore. Perhaps they saw it be real for a moment in time, but that party (or that idea of a party) is utterly not real anymore. The DNC has done nothing but fail upwards with a large section of black people of that age cohort. It really just bums me out that to think they are sticking with a political organization that failed them and will turbo fail their children and grandchildren. Like the article says, they turn a blind eye to both record and rhetoric.
There is no black business that will liberate us, there is no black enterprise that will elevate us, and we are no taller when we try to exploit each other like the capitalist class. A lot of the "vote blue maga" types talk about it's important for black people to "be in the room" or "be in the halls of power", but never really question what that rooms is for or what those halls of power are doing.
Also Forever keep posting Black Agenda Report. They aren't the perfect journalism group but they are one of the least OG real ones.
