No. But their oppression was and is economic. Their land was stolen. The solution isn’t to appreciate their culture it’s to gtfo their occupied land.

No. It was easier to dehumanize blacks. But their oppression was and is economical. Their labor was and is being stolen. They don’t need love; they need compensation.

Well we can let them choose if they want free hugs or their share of the wealth redistribution.

The impoverished of all races have more in common with each other than the average black person has with someone like Jay-Z. Doesn't even read like OH disagrees with intersectionalism except as a reaction to people mentioning it tbh, he's just mistaking reductionism with insight again.

Maybe that’s fair except I hear a giant vacuum where economic justice ought to be.

Especially since it’s a direct can-do tangible fix.
