Good question. Because they needed it before, and in the past we gave it to them. A bunch of movements piggybacked off the Civil Rights movement since its inception. Bayard Rustin, an integral part of MLK's organization, was a gay man that shifted his focus to LGBTQ rights after MLK died. We let the feminist movement march along with us, only for them to blame us for the issues we were marching for in the first place. Weather Underground, an all white anti establishment group, were close with the Black Panthers (I named my rap group after them). They documented the crime scene of Fred Hampton after he was killed in his sleep by the feds. We all stood side by side against oppression, but those other groups didn't support us when we needed to resolve our issues. Our efforts get undermined just like in this and other threads.I agree with everything you said except that last statement. What makes you think women and Latinos are going to need our help? More importantly, why should we help when they’ve chosen to go against their own interests?
As many have said in here, we’ve always been the moral center of the US and have always stood up for them and that shit is getting played out when it’s not reciprocated.
I notice y'all going back and forth with @Disanthrope, that's y'all business. One thing we can all agree on is that Black ppl have no real allies. The separation there is what we decide to do about it. What Dis is saying has been the sentiments of any of us that been on the battlefield since day one. Y'all keep arguing and falling for the troll moves and not letting the message sink in. We spoke on this since the beginning of the thread... we been going thru what the rest of the country is about to go thru for 400 years. Until they come to us with a real conversation, we're done trying to fix this country. I'm not downplaying anyone's efforts to deal with this loss, and let's face it... we ALL lost, even the ones that voted for Trump.
