Tariq Nasheed doesn’t want liberation, he wants the power to oppress like a white man

You can’t be pro-Black and attack Black women regularly

You can’t be pro-Black and patriarchal

You can’t be pro-Black & anti-queer

His hatred of some Black folks is a tool of white supremacy

Black women and Black queer people square up daily against anti-Blackness.

He feels that any checking of cishet Black men is anti-Black which is dangerous and part of that “protect the image” at all cost logic.

Naw. Especially when our lives are on the line.

We can fight white supremacy AND make it known that Black women are dying at the hands of Black men

That Black queer people aren’t being supported, acknowledged and affirmed enough by Black cishets

That’s how this works. If you ain’t worried about trans deaths, you ain’t for us

A lot of people watched Tariq PUBLICLY attack a Black woman who has been fighting for us for years and said nothing. Do better.

HE ACCUSED HER FATHER WHO WAS A BLACK PANTHER OF BEING IN COINTELPRO WITH NO EVIDENCE.

That my friends is the folk Zora warned us about.

Folks like Tariq need a 101,201,301, and graduation level course on what Blackness actually is.

Because if y’all support his logic, a logic that CONSTANTLY berates Black women & queer folks.

Then you are my oppressor too and assimilation to whiteness is your prize
