I just watched a video from the Defiant Lawyers Network regarding black disengagement, and it said all I had been intending to post about proposed strategies by some blacks advocating not to participate in protests. Oh my, this is so good--this video just nails it!
We cannot sit idly by during these times. It is critical we organize and be visible. We cannot let our emotions over rule us to be punitive because majorities in certain racial groups voted for our white supremacist president. Keep in mind, as the video points out, black voter participation was weak in the 2024 election, therefore this also played a role in Trump being elected. Resignation and apathy will get black people nowhere.
We are in a fight for our survival here! It is imperative we resist this authoritarian government with all we got. History shows that whites have played a significant role in helping blacks, from the early abolitionists stance against slavery, the Civil Rights movements, and even until now. We must strategize and not separate, and tap into the power of utilizing numbers of citizens against the regime! Please, people, watch this video. I intend to post more on this subject in the future, but I surely will not handle this topic with the eloquence and temperament as Rev. Augustus Corbett.
