Black people have been saying for generations that America needs to reckon with it's racism issue and all the democrats say "Yeah, those republicans need to stop being racist" and that attitude is EXACTLY the problem with America.

Yes, the republicans are openly racist. Conservative racism is a problem. But it's only a problem because democrats are racist as fuck too. It's just that they have this liberal feel good racism that manifests is talking points and "faith in the system" and loving harder and harder policing for "safety" and throwing marginalized under the bus and all kinds of other shit.

Y'all, part of what "America needs to reckon with it's racism issue" is the fact that white democrats have this easy, passive believe in "the system," as if it just works without effort… BECAUSE IT MOSTLY DOES FOR THEM.

But marginalized communities have never been able to just say "The constitution protects me" or "The police protect me."

And now we're here, because white democrats were like "All this escalation is fine because we're still safe." Until their not and then all they have is "Wait, but…!"

@aguVV@masto.es @FinalGirl@blackqueer.life This isn't the gotcha you think it is, because I assure you racism is rampant in and has created systemic inequality in all 35 of those regardless of what their political parties are named. Maybe if you actually read what the post is saying instead of looking for trivialities to pick on, you'd be the kind of person who can understand that.
