If you don’t “do identity politics” then how are you going to solve the issues I face via policy due to my identity? There’s a difference between weaponizing identity to stop progress vs identifying race based issues that need to be solved. This isn’t hard to understand.
I swear either some of you are plum idiots, or repeating tired ass talking points that ignore the core issues. Please use my identity as a Black woman when crafting policy to reduce maternal death rates. Please use it when canceling student debt and a jobs program.
Do NOT use it to claim having Lori Lightfoot as a representation of anything other than a person who looks like me, continuing the violent oppression if policing.
Y’all be obtuse on purpose and wonder why your movements are stalled. Wondering how you got left out of the current movment of a multicultural and multi-racial working class movment, believing you were canceled. Nah, you just weren’t listening and we moved on without you.
