He gotta go tying dreams to white man clouds you end up in the fog
I'm asking cause you provided no context
And yes, I very much take the tweet at face value

I don’t think his point is one we should overlook
Seemed like people just said defund the police as an attention grabber, cause when asked they always clarified “well what we mean is...[insert something that’s not actually defunding the police].”

i get it but its beyond these words.. they move in fear... the other side has no such compunctions
There’s been a concerted effort to alienate black men by overly praising black women. Put it like this if what I’m saying is a supposed reach then explain why Trump tried to pander to black men as a last minute Hail Mary to get more votes?

What would this country look like if we all moved based on the low bar of that side? Being more extreme to counter balance them isn’t something that actually works or helps.
I won't put it like anything. Its a concerted effort that obviously worked if you felt aliened
I didn't nor did I see it as overly praising of black women. I saw a factual statement that didn't lessen or cheapen my involvement in the least
I don't get the division so I guess it didn't work on me
So 80% of black men voted for Biden and they focus on black women that don’t seem odd? But had Biden lost they would’ve blamed black men.

Is it really extreme or are we a fsr right country that allow the far right to frame the narrative.
Not one politician ran on Defund the police
The praise not genuine that’s the point.

SHE focused on WOMEN in a single tweet and that makes a lot of sense to me considering SHE'S the first WOMAN to be elected to VP
Why is that odd?

This.. it really is just platitudes until I see policy that shows they value black women
..we vote in lockstep with black women.. they deserve props for the tireless thankless organizing but the efforts are collective
But you have people out here using supposed stratification as capital
Okay.

I think the problem is less about black women getting their shine and more about how they use it to attack black men. There was a tweet a while back where they praised black women for voting a certain way and shit on black men, and when you looked at the numbers there was only like a 3% difference. Then there was that most recent post where an actual elected official claimed that black men who didn't vote for Biden were voting against black women. That shit's pretty fucked up man. If black women want to position themselves as the MVPs of the Dem party, that's fine. I just don't see why some feel the need to step on black men to do it.
