Many folks have decided all Black and brown women must support Kamala Harris for President. Yet here's the thing: Genocide led by a Black and brown woman rather than a white man is STILL genocide.
The heightened DNC fundraising efforts since Biden opted out of reelection have been heinously tacky and distasteful. I wish these leaders nothing but the absolute worst as they hide behind the veneer of tokenism while doing nothing aside from serving lobbyists and undermining progressive movements. I don't see myself in Kamala, but I do see reflected in her the members of my community who fall into the traps of liberal ideology while selling out our Palestinian neighbors. Those same attitudes of Asian Americans who seek proximity to whiteness and support tough-on-crime policies. I hope we can stay active and at least make strides in our down-ballot races, and in non-electoral political activity 😬

It is fucking *BONKERS* that folks choose to not understand this:
"White supremacy in Black and brownface is still white supremacy."
