stuff like “Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you”

Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?

i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it

    Because crackers, ‘progressive’ or regressive, will always bear water and run defense for white supremacy before they ever consider liberating the subjects of empire that they feel entitled to camaraderie from and companionship with. It never fails. It’s the same root from which springs the perennial “we don’t have a race issue in Amerika, just a class issue” out of radlibs and anarchists, it’s the same root from which springs the “well he was no angel, clearly he deserved it” out of the copsuckers and conservatives.

    Crackers will always close ranks around their own before they ever think about reparating or restituting. “Leftists” like Amber are exactly why I don’t trust the white left, and only organize with Black formations and organizations anymore.

      Marginalized groups should be in charge of their own liberation. If privileged people actually want to help, they should get behind the marginalized groups and follow, not grandstand over them trying to take power and acting with a white savior complex

        Malcolm X stated that was the reason he avoided working with white people and he later regretted turning away one white college student because she was like the one white person who genuinely wanted to follow black leadership.

        I hate that this is the connection my brain made here but recency bias got me…

        A recent BadEmpanada vid contrasted the white anti-apartheid activists in south africa joining the black resistance orgs, vs the israeli “anti-apartheid” types almost exclusively forming their own little NGOs among themselves and condemning actual resistance groups.

        Same shit throughout history
