Part of this "she's not really Black" convo from white right wingers is a central part of white supremacy.
They get to define everything.
They can have "Blacks for Trump" but ban Black History classes.
They decide what is right & wrong.

What's amazing about Lebron James is he saw what Rich Paul and Maverick Carter would become before anyone else.
Incredible vision.
"Most agents treat athletes as if the athlete works for them," says four-time NBA champion Draymond Green. “But there’s a multi-billion-dollar business going on around most athletes that they don’t understand. But they don’t have a Rich Paul to teach them.”

I've tried to explain this to every urban planner, city official & politician (especially the Black ones)... you can either make housing more affordable by upzoning or more expensive by maintaining status quo or worse downzone.
"Fighting gentrification" is not a real strategy.
It's hard to think of anything in modern urban planning that's failed harder than attempts to preserve neighborhood demographics with low-density zoning, like Metro Planning has tried — and is in the process of doubling down on — in Edgehill.

I am getting annoyed w/ some of the responses to this very good take by my guy Jason.
Immigrant labor is not always cheap labor, or cheaper labor and it's rarely exploited labor.
In many states they are the ONLY labor.
Mass deportation will cripple whole state economies.
Americans are about to learn how to
-maintain their own lawns
-clean their own house
-make home repairs themselves
-grow a home garden

See It's easy to condemn German Nazis that you don't know, but condeming America's Nazis could mean condemning your own family 🥴😬
Again, the things we are willing to say about race-based chattel slavery in this country, we’d never say about Jews in the Holocaust, would never imagine a curriculum saying “the enslaved Jews in the Holocaust learned skills that could benefit them later.”
