Hi. I get y’all think you’re doing something clever by comparing any of these presidential candidates to deceased Black power and Civil rights figures but you aren’t. Our struggle and legacy isn’t for propping them up.
Folks align with your politics dope. You’re excited and see value. Wonderful! But do not compare, leverage or assign credit to these folks from our ancestors and predecessors. If one of their living comrades chose to that is their business. But it’s not for any of us.
My Baba was a political prisoner for 17 yrs, my uncle was murdered on a Virginia Highway. And y’all out here doing this. You believe in the electoral process Dope. Do the work. Organize and grind. But don’t leverage our ancestors to prop up your candidate.
