It might be unpopular but it’s also true that the EXACT same nuance is required to understand why the Black American voting majority enthusiastically supported both the “crime bill” in 1994 AND Bill & Hillary Clinton from the 90s until now. 
Feels like I’ve mentioned this blindspot umpteen times before, but here it goes again for the nosebleed seats. People need to understand that “defund the police” rhetoric on the far left inevitably catalyzes White fearmongering about Black “lawlessness” on the far right. 🙃
In other words, the folk whose main goal is perpetuating fuckery of the Democratic party’s agenda and its marginalized base want nothing more than to paint BIPOC communities as resistant to law & order while simultaneously aiding & abetting White supremacist domestic terrorism.
WL Mackenzie King met with Hitler & left a ship full of fleeing Jews to rot & die in a Cdn harbor, refusing to give them asylum, while sneaking in Nazi collaborators & fleeing Nazi war criminals. The fact that he was our longest serving PM is nothing to celebrate. #cdnpoli
Absolutely appalling that Gerry Butts, who calls everyone who disagrees with him a "Nazi" "alt right" "white supremacist", openly celebrates and supports ACTUAL NAZIS INSIDE OF OUR FEDERAL GOV'T! #cdnpoli
