Thread: I think this is an opportunity to talk about different "pro-black" ideologies. Its past time black people openly have discussions about black "nativism" vs Pan-Africanism and citizenship vs separatists ideology. #icantbreathe #BlackTwitter
While I do understand the natural reaction, anyone telling you that black people need to just "separate" themselves from white folks, respectfully, doesn& #39;t what the hell they& #39;re talking about. A lot of our communities are already "separate".
..and even if we did build our "own " Chinatown or little Italy. It would still be on U.S soil and subject to laws, white supremacist ideology and white fragility. We& #39;ve done that before and yall act like y& #39;all don& #39;t know what happened. We are here to eat the failures of America
No matter how much we pool money and resources that doesn& #39;t stop your co-op store or haberdashery from being susceptible to white terrorism. We don& #39;t need our own in that way we need what we are due. Which is full citizenship rights, reparations and protected class status.
Anything short of fighting for #PureReparations is a cop out. Because anything else sounds like " we can& #39;t do nothing but run away from the problem or assimilate." No we can fight back the same way our ancestors fought back and that is through grassroots organizing and politics
