WW still do NOT GET IT! You’re still trying to “not all” & “not me” this demand for INDIVIDUALISM is part of W supremacy every other group gets treated like a collective except yall even when you need to be which is what’s happening right now. It’s uncomfortable to hear because
2) uncomfortable to hear because you aren’t used to it which is the crux of the damned problem. You need to be ACTIVELY DOING ANTI RACIST WORK IN YOUR FAMILIES & COMMUNITIES WE NEED COLLECTIVE ACTION FROM YOU NOT symbols. YOU HAVE TO HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS & DO CONVERSION
3) NOBODY ELSE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU. WE DONT LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS & THEY DONT LISTEN TO US ANYWAY. I KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO SAY THEY DONT LISTEN TO ME EITHER WELL MAKE THEM ITS NOT A ONE AND DONE THIS IS GENERATIONAL WORK
4) SOME OF U CLAIM TO B FEMINIST SO I HAVE AN ANALOGY a woman recently complained that 1 man at a table full of men made a sexual comment to her underage daughter & not 1 of the other man said ANYTHING the permission structure that allows that is on ALL MEN like this is on ALL WP
5) if you understand why women choose BEAR you should understand why Black people will too 🤷🏾‍♀️ IF YOU STILL CRAVE INDIVIDUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT & ALLY COOKIES FIND WW who have evolved BEYOND THAT POINT and let them help you along. That ain’t my ministry. End
Epilogue WHITE PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO COME TOGETHER WHEN ITS TIME TO CLOSE RANKS ON OTHER GROUPS SO YES YALL CAN FIGURE THIS THE FUCK OUT 🤷🏾‍♀️

Trying to put voice to my FRUSTRATION. What will it take for you to see me as an equal? As a neighbor? As a valued member of the community? You love our soul food, you love our music, you feel entitled to our labor, you don’t actually hate me, you’re really quite codependent
2) The truly insidious thing about American racism is that w folks love ethnic foods, Black music, sports figures etc but vote against their actual Black neighbors every time. WHY? Are we neighbors or NOT? You already share OUR CULTURE why can’t we as citizens share resources
3) America isn’t America without all the minorities you routinely vote against. You will gorge on Chinese, Mexican, or soul food, know every hip hop song, then vote like ONLY YOUR CITIZENSHIP MATTERS. People who harp against DEI & “the woke” don’t actually hate diversity

Judging by how the right wing manosphere is having an absolute meltdown about their wives maybe secretly voting for Harris I’d say that ad did EXACTLY WHAT IT NEEDED TO DO 🤷🏾‍♀️
Also WW seem to be in their feelings about the fact that this really only happens with THEIR demo. The majority of minority communities vote for democrats & there’s very little daylight between how the men & women vote & when there IS those men are NOT intimidating their wives
2) this happens TO YOU because of the devil’s bargain you made with W Men. They give you white supremacy so you will uphold patriarchy & this is a consequence of that pact.

I don’t think this race is close at all TBH. Polls are close because they are relying on inaccurate 2020 census data and they are being manipulated by bad actors like the media & Nate Silver & Peter Thiel’s Polymarket who make $ off the perception of a horse race.
2) Trump’s ceiling hasn’t moved (47%) but there’s been lots of movement AWAY from him, WW, WM, GOP, Independents, esp college educated W folks, not to mention the Haitians & Puerto Ricans whose populations can carry swing states.
3) Also the ground game! Trump has no ground game he put his DIL in charge of the RNC and the money raised there is paying his mounting legal bills. The DNC is (quietly) executing a 50 state strategy forcing the GOP to spend $ they don’t have in states they take 4 granted like OH

I understand the REFLEX some are having about Wfolks leading with Whiteness in their organizing because TYPICALLY that was done for RACIST purposes HOWEVER THIS organizing for Harris is explicitly being done for ANTI RACISM its to rally W folks to CONVERT people in their networks
2) W people are the ONLY ETHNIC DEMO that votes GOP CONSISTENTLY AS A MAJORITY. If we can get those numbers down to under 50% for WM & WW we WIN IN A LANDSLIDE. That’s WHY it’s important to do this work. The task is CONVERSION which is very diff than mobilization Image
3) As a Black woman my community votes nearly 90% Dem so I don’t have to CONVERT anyone I have to canvass, make phone calls, MOBILIZE them to vote. CONVERSION requires conversations & community work. You have to give people a permission structure to change their minds

They’re already writing revisionist history esp the bullies that forced Biden out REMEMBER MVP becoming the nominee was NOT a foregone conclusion the donor class was trying to FORCE Harris out TOO & BLACK WOMEN SAID

What you NOT GONNA DO IS…

Which begat the letter & organizing
I don’t know definitively who came NEXT but I saw LGBTQ+, Latinos, Asians, Indians, a lot of different minority groups in short order then the YOUTH and THEN WW and lastly WM. This is our coalition and we ALL showed up when it mattered!

This PUSH to drop Biden IS NOT ORGANIC or COMING FROM THE GRASSROOTS. This is a COORDINATED HIT JOB coming from the same BROS (and their allies in the media) who HATED HILLARY! Their misogyny runs even DEEPER than their racism & they want to do an end run around the Dem base
2) They don’t want MVP on the ticket they’re pretending to so when she can’t win a last minute campaign they leave her holding the bag, taking her career, pissing off & alienating the B base of the party & clearing the field for THEM & their candidates That’s their calculation
3) AGAIN what they FEAR is Biden dying or stepping aside before his 4 year term which would make Kamala president & allow her to run as an incumbent and that’s EXACTLY what they don’t want since she doesn’t want or NEED THEM!
