(34,648 posts)We, black americans, are still trying to obtain the same right to exist that you take for granted. The fact that one campaign minimized out need for equality as 'identity politics' let us know they were not listening and that we were not interested in a bland one size fits all revolution. The nation aint getting no whiter, ever. We must deal with race or we have no peaceful future. Us black americans are not going to shut up about issues that affect us most and allow white liberals to decide what WE should be interested in, ever. Time to start listening and realize that it was not brock or the clinton foundation that repelled us. It was his campaign and the way it was run as a one size fits all generic revolution, minus black folks of course because we do not fit into the narrative.
