I am. I want to know exactly who decided that in their personal calculus, that they could accept the genocide of another sovereign group of people if it meant the security of their own rights-- because when it's my turn on the sacrificial altar, it'll be those same coons, crackers, and assorted miscellaneous misleaders holding the knives.
I want to know who I can't trust turning my back to.
What I mean is that it's a better use of my time and energy to identify and approach people I am deeply compatible with and can build oases and operational units with, rather than getting into it with people who very clearly just in it for themselves.
You've said before that the default, especially for white and/or suburban and/or financially secure folks, is that you can't trust turning your back to them. Why rehash the rule, instead of trying to uncover the exceptions?
If there's one thing the failure of the civil rights movement taught me, it's that even the ones you think you can trust when the tide is low will show their asses the minute the waterline's two inches up the walls on Main Street.
I'd like to believe there are some that aren't outright feral ghouls; but I can't make that assertion until I've seen every last bit of ass-showing I can see. Up til now, I've operated under blanket assumption that none of them can be. Now, I want to know the exacts.
I know it doesn't mean much from a random internet white person but when the day comes I'll be on the fuckin barricades with you.
I already had this fight with the mods a long time ago; yes, Black folk have been using this as shorthand for "misleader", "minstrel", and "sellout" since Jim fucking Crow; argue with ya mama about it
EDIT: Thank you.
Oh shit you're american pharao lol! I remember you! Good to see you're still around. Thanks for the link and sharing the insight
