When immigrants come over here, they are taught to work hard, keep their head down, and stay away from Black people. I know that because my dad immigrated here and this is what they told him. All that did is isolate these communities, and prohibit them from forming coalitions. Black people have been dealing with the klan for 400 years. We have established networks and organizations, political movements to push through. Some demos stood with us, while others chased the allure of the white patriarchy.

1. There r lot of people that Black people vote for that we don’t like. We don’t get sidetracked when it comes to getting what we want. LBJ was a racist we got civil rights in affirmative action.

A thread 1. White people* buy into narratives easily. A narrative that creates a character that replaces the actual Human. Rather it is Meghan Markle the Bully, Hillary Clinton as Evil, Obama the failure, and Kamala the cop.

Women and minorities are constantly harassed, intimidated and bullied in our every day lives and that has bled into social media. The amount of aggression we receive just because we dare to have a different opinion is unconscionable. Meghan Markle has triggered so many black women, because it was yet another example that no matter what education we have, success that we have had, that even being married to prince, it cannot shield us or our children from being treated as less than
