When Black and other marginalized people say something is wrong in the US, don't assume we're playing spoiler for the GOP against Dems or have been brainwashed by propaganda. It's possible our lived experience informs conclusions we come to on their own. American experiences vary.

We can't get our needs met without speaking truth to power. We can't wait for other people to notice our problems and volunteer solutions. That doesn't mean we won't vote in our best interests, given available choices. But we cannot be expected to be silent about the things that ail us.

If this leads to us speaking inconvenient truths, we will collectively need to work through the resulting discomfort. Comes with the territory of trying to solve problems in a landscape with systemic inequality based on race. It's not either you're all in on Dem messaging or you're with the GOP.

One day, perhaps, we won't have to deal with truths like, the hood stays the hood, no matter who wins these elections. But until that changes and all marginalized people are safe, hearing and stating inconvenient truths will remain part of the work, on message or not. Election year or not.

Totally fair...you can be sincere and still come to vastly different conclusions as everybody else. There is a bit of a gross desire to rule that informs a lot of the charges of "ops", not to mention crippling paranoia. Sorry, the opposition is RARELY that good.
