Man what...

When you black but you recognize POC excellence

We can do this and give specificity to the black community and black community issues all at the same time.

POC is not Black. To be ‘non-white’ does not a Black person make. The issues of Black people are not the issues of all POC. And, contrary to popular belief, a rising tide does not lift all boats, so the improvements of POC do not magically somehow benefit Black people, especially for POC that are upholding anti-Black racism. We need to own up to these truths, or they will destroy us.

According to your logic, black Americans as soldiers have been complicit in advancing the American military interests in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya... etc. Slapping the anti-black tag on everyone is counterproductive

POC in any instance is cringe

This is one of the laziest takes I've seen yet.

If only you had the capacity to stay on topic instead of blaming Black soldiers for destruction that isn't controlled by them mainly.

Maybe you would also address how Black people in the military have been used for decades by this country, even so much as human shields in the past.

Anti Blackness is worldwide, thats not counterproductive it's a fact get over it.

im a visible minority and would slap the f*** out of anyone who refers to me as POC

edit: i even cringed saying visible minority its like a lesser term for POC

No single brown person should do things only for brown people, and the same applies to any race in a country like the states. Cause these communities that you talk about are not real; they’re imaginary. The experience of a Nigerian migrant in Atlanta isn’t similar in any sense to that of a African American

Nobody said you should only do things for your community

Talk about missing the point.

Anti-blackness was a product of colonialism and imperialism that was implanted in the colonies like seeds, same as the US army

Again, Black doesn't fit all of us perfectly either. However Blackness is a label better fitting than POC because we are seen as Black and I bet you that Nigerian man would be called the n word faster than an Asian man which matters.

You literally just mentioned that black people shouldn’t be expected to lead and unite

This is gibberish to basically say I'm right, anti Blackness is worldwide and nbpoc promote it currently.

No, it’s not. Colonialism and imperialism gave us slavery. Get your history right

its not "gibberish" and your take is incomplete, anti-blackness is the result of the system of imperialism and has to be attacked at its root (which is imperialism), and can only be defeated through intercommunal solidarity. take a page from Fred Hampton on his death day.

You’re missing a few braloserls

Anti-blackness is deeply engrained in pretty much every nbpoc culture lmao not just white peoples’

Is English not your first language?

Black people have been fighting for other peoples issues from jump street and are now expected to always do this and it's not fair when it is not returned.

Just like when Chris Rock said #OscarsSoWhite and talked about black people winning awards then POC jumped on him for not mentioning other groups of people.

None of this is me saying we should "only" do things for our community but I'm bout spent doing s*** and when it's black people with the mic the energy is completely different.

Anti-blackness far pre-dates events like American based slavery so this can’t possibly be true. It isn’t a modern phenomenon. It’s existed since early civilization

Not quite. A lot of anti Blackness targets Black people in their current situations and existence which is beyond the form of the start of imperialism that othered anyone not white.

This is why often there are terms that place other nbpoc above Black people and often cause Black voices to be unheard among all POC.

Ufff this narrative again. So then the Jews should prosecute black people for their exodus too?? Wtf

What does that have to do with anything I just said.

You just turn a blind sight to when non-black people stand up for your black people. Palestinians standing in solidarity for black lives matter is a good example

When did I argue the history of slavery? And why do you insist on believing slavery is the only driving force for anti Blackness or assume I believe so?

things have a material basis, anti-blackness didnt just come from nowhere. the export of anti-blackness globally was the result of the spread of liberal ideology and capitalist production relations via western imperialism, that is the historical materialist take on anti-blackness. if you dont like it then take it up with the Panthers/Haywood/Dubois/Malcolm, etc; but they make a lot of sense.
