3️⃣and genuinely groups like the DSA need to listen to black folks when we're telling you some shit. Instead of thinking that you can speak *FOR* us. Maybe trying talking *TO* US? Yeah? that might help.
4️⃣There is a reason why DSA folks who are not themselves black or brown don't seem to give a fuck about black or brown communities, and frankly it's patriarchal bullshit. "Oh we'll just drag them along to good things" rather than engaging with black folks as a community...
5️⃣..all while gladly using us as a shield to protect themselves from critique by other *white fuckin leftists*
I need ya'll to stop. to listen. to reach out to black folks and figure out their problems, and tell your DSA candidates to work out how to solve them.
Nothing else will win. 🔚
Alternatively, Black folks could organize an independent party that centers Black working class interests broadly speaking, develop our own 'Black agenda', and DSA can take it or leave it
