    I’m not sure why this is even being upvoted. The entire blog post is just using stereotypes to lambast any white person who has ever participated in a protest related to racial injustice. It almost feels like the goal is to deliberately alienate potential support and sow division.

    The title makes it clear that the blog post is about white people, but nowhere in the entire post does the author even bother to try and describe how white people can show support or unity with groups like the New Black Panther Party. It feels pretty bad to structure the entire discourse around the idea that all white people are virtue signaling and not even entertain the idea that some might actually want to help.

    Oh look. A paid dissenter to sow division so the working class will never unite in solitary, one of many.

    How much you getting paid to post this shit? Hmm? 5 cents? 10 cents?

    Where you from? Russia? India? Not from the US I’m sure, just like all those exposed influencers on Twitter who are all paid from different countries.

    Here’s a thought for you, since you seem incapable of thinking for yourself. When the war starts, and your still making a dollar a week, I wish you luck when you’re sent to the front lines by the elites who will cherish your death, take your possessions and sell them to the highest bidder.

    No War but Class War. Workers Unite or Die.

      Fuck off, liberals do not understand class solidarity much less fighting for it. Their support always has terms and conditions and only if they are able to center themselves and control the movements.

      If you had any knowledge of the original Black panther Party they did not allow any non-black people into their organization. Other ethnicities could fight with them in their own groups but not within the Black panther Party. So with your own claim they were anti-class unity and anti-working class

        Nah. Don’t think I will. If my presence pisses little shitheels like you off I relish in the tears. “Liberals don’t understand class solidarity” Cool, I’m not a liberal. But clearly you don’t either since you’re shitting on… a political party. Instead of the rich and the elites.

        I don’t give a shit about the Black Panthers. I don’t care if white people can join or not. I do care about you dividing the masses like a little piss baby though.

        Your welcome for the extra ten cents :)

    As a Panther I couldn’t make myself read this article. It starts off incorrect in the title.

    The New Black Panther Party is a separate organization completely from The Black Panther Party for Self Defence that got media attention recently. There’s several other small local Panther orgs around the country with different rules regarding non-black members. If you’re looking for an org that allows people of any race/color/creed, the United Panther Party may be your jam.

        Is there something about being white that is fundamentally different than any other liberal?

              A majority, yes. You can tell by the comments here that white liberals are trying to colonize the conversation itself, telling a black author that wrote the story that she is wrong in what she believes despite being a black panther herself

                Seems a little racists to attribute a certain set of traits to a particular people based on their skin color, don’t you think? Even using the term majority would imply there are “good ones” in the white community which, again, is pretty racist.

                  So you find the black woman that wrote the article who’s speaking her truth is racist? Many liberals in general are so consumed with centering themselves in everyone’s movement they don’t see that they’re trying to take it over. They’re too concerned with optics and not results

          White liberals are trash and are bigger obstacles to progress than Republicans. The person a shit ton of liberals were quoting yesterday said the same thing

    If the author wants to basically spend the entire article rattling off stereotypes of White People considering them as one homogeneous bloc, cool I guess.

    The resistance will coalesce in different ways in response to various events, which does include the situation that all kinds of people got more engaged, only after a white person got shot and killed by ICE. What should be more important is if you can make common cause, than how any other group looks to fight back. You can keep yoga protestors a separate group from gun wielding protection groups, but we don’t need to bring the prejudice in for either group and the focus should be that both are growing the movement that takes down fascism.

      Part of the group in the streets support a party that has said they are open to increase ICE funding if they wear body cams. Reform never works

            I think we have all been manipulated and cornered.

            For instance. Kamala. Her policies were Republican. We wanted Bernie. Yet we didn’t get who we wanted. They sidelined us.

            I still voted for her because Trump was way worse. But I was pretty unhappy about it. A lot of people were.

            A hell of a lot of democratic candidates have misled us into thinking they were democrats when they most certainly are not.

            I think a lot of people, myself included, believed that as long as I kept voting for that D, then surely things will progress. Often there is one D option when I vote. Local and national. It’s gotta be better than the R, right?

            The oligarchs and Israel have limited who we can vote for so that they always win regardless of who gets voted for.

            We the people, even us who genuinely want progressive change, have been manipulated and limited in our choice of candidates.

            Even now, the dnc is working 24/7 to fuck us from getting good candidates. They want power and their donations more than saving the country.

            Too many politicians are greedy bastards who will sell our lives for their own benefit.

            I get the anger. I’m with you. I get the betrayal. I’ve also been betrayed. We all have.

            But it’s not other people stuck in the mud with you that have caused this.

              Liberals consistently do what they claim Republicans do, vote against their self interests. If they know their party js garbage yet still support them nothing will ever change for the better.

              You said that you begrudgingly voted for Harris, they don’t know you begudgingly voted for her. They just know that you voted for her and what that translates to is they can do whatever they want because liberals will keep coming back for more.

              That tells the DNC you are willing to overlook a genocide, that you’re willing to overlook homelessness at an all-time high, that you’re willing to overlook nearly 70% of people living paycheck to paycheck. You’re willing to overlook all of these issues just to elect a Democrat and in turn things will continue to get worse.

              Voters think that they are helping with their lesser evil ideology. When a small amount of evil is accepted, a slightly larger amount of evil becomes acceptable next time, if you compound this over 30 and 40 years youve gone from a party of people like Jimmy Carter that built houses for the poor to someone that is denying a genocide and silencing those opposing her.
