: [1st] All comparisons are odious! But it's hard to compare 'Black' Political Prisoners reduced to obscurity in an anti-Black Society with an Internationally-renowned ['White'] Entertainer with 80 years in the business. One is going to be lesser-known; or unknown to most!
: If Activists want people to be or become as familiar with Russell 'Maroon' Shoatz as they are with Betty White, it's up to the knowledgeable Activists to help Educate the masses on who he was. Is it logical to expect the masses to know; or to then chide them for not knowing?
: In an Oppressive Capitalists Imperialist Society that wants 'Black' Political Prisoners to disappear, it's not rational or reasonable to think that the masses would know a fallen ['Black'] Political Prisoner before they would know a fallen ['White'] Hollywood star.
: [Again] Intelligent Activists need WISDOM. Some of the issues we harp on are silly. We have to avoid - even with good intentions - becoming narcissistic; thinking that our ideas & preferences come before those of others, or that our ideas should be shared by all.

: 'Black' disdain for non-Black allies equates to 'White' Supremacy in Blackface, really. You don't get extreme pro-Black "brownie points" for hating people who try to stand in solidarity with us against Imperialists & Oppression! 🤦🏾♂️
: Pan-Afrikanism is for the descendants of Afrika in whatever [Intersectional] form(s) they comprise [Men, Women, Cisgender, Trans, LGBQ, Feminist, Womanist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Conservative, Liberal, Progressive, Socialist, etc.]. Bring all of that to the table! ✊🏾
: A little reading goes a long way. Professor Richard Wolff busts these myths in his books. If you're not an avid reader, he also has a slew of lectures that you can watch! 💡
: This looks like a great renovation project for the CDC; the White House; the Congressional Buildings; the Pentagon; the Corporations; the Banks; etc.! Revolutionaries can call it, "THE CAPITALIST WILDFIRES!" 🔥
