You just refuse to believe there's a split.
what split you think a black American and an African American are two different groups. Cuz who else is it referring to?

why are calls of solidarity always placed on Black ppl? like hear me out, I dont want to see anyone get hurt but Im tired of other races depending on us to save them from the throes of yt supremacy, as if they dont cling to white supremacist capitalism when its beneficial for them. IM DRAINED. IM TIRED. as someone said on facebook “asians have played into the model minority myth and used that to oppress Black people. Yes we should condemn yt pathological behavior but do we forget how Asian communities as a whole have treated black people????”
WE grasp the concept of solidarity, its other races that seem to be struggling...
"we"? Take one look at this board and you'll see any gross generalization like this is false.
What's even trying to be said here? We should retain our sense of solidarity if we vibe with the cause and feel it's just regardless of whether this or that percentage or ratio of some other race feels the same or not.
Because ultimately we're on the perpetual journey of finding friends and allies... And there's plenty of individuals within any given ethnic group who are willing to fight the good fight with us.

Where are they?
Every time I've protested and marched, I've personally seen images like the ones posted
A myriad of different races and ethnicities
Every time
And it's sickening how some of these so-called conscious woke hotep militant perverted what it means to be "pro-back"
They lie, misinform, and cause needless divisiveness
Widen your horizons. ABW and black twitter aren't where you'll find em.
I too have pictures and done activist work with all races
do these few people represent the entire Asian diaspora?...and does that bear any relevance to the majority experience of Black americans in this country when dealing with AAPI anti-blackness?
Does the entire Asian Diaspora represent inaction and anti-blackness. It goes both ways.
I live in philly. I encounter asians everyday of my life. the micro/macro aggressions they exhibit while simultaneously profiting from my community is extensive and far reaching.
I live in Toronto and encounter more of them. Granted, your American reality is more conflict ridden than mine.
I just don't want to see ppl making an entire race of ppl out to be an enemy. When I throw in a little grey into the black and white to show ppl are here for us too it's meant to avoid buying into divisiveness. Otherwise what are you doing pushing back with militant response? Conflict begets more conflict.
Also, who is perpetuating anti-blackness daily? An immigrant filled hair shop? How many educated American born Asians do you really associate with?
hear me out, white supremacy and u.s imperalism
will always always be to blame for this shit but Im not going to undermine Black ppls feelings about the asian community and our long sordid history.
you can feel however you feel but demanding Black folks link arms with any and everybody while our socioeconomic conditions continously go ignored in this country is disingenuous and counter-productive
i want good for those that want good for me
and if you want me dead guess what? i want you dead too.
Black people interact with asians on the daily, especially if you live in predominately Black poorer cities/neighborhoods
they run the hair stores, the one stops (convenience stores) the laundry mats and the corner bars where they plop your change down instead of putting it in your hand behind bulletproof glass
So a bunch of immigrants then?
Immigrants coming from homogeneous demographics aren't the most welcoming people.
Additionally, Asians are more represented among the middle and upper class compared to other PoC minorities. It's bound to see them lose a sense of duty and solidarity to disaffected communities. Such is the way of class based antagonisms.
