Just asinine. Black folk don’t cut and run. We migrate across the US even as many white people don’t want us here. When they’ve burned down our homes. Lynched us. That thread: Give me an effing break. We are PATRIOTS. We believe in this country much more than many white MFERS do.

@popcornreel leaving is the most elitist thing one can do. It takes such privilege to do it- most of us couldn’t even if we wanted to. I think you’re right. It’s like white flight-Neighborhood is changing - better run. I just don’t know how to fight this particular brand of awful. Where do I start? All my usual approaches seem so not enough.

@popcornreel I just "love" how so many white people believe that moving will protect them in any way, as if the fascism, authoritarianism, and oligarchy isn't rapidly spreading everywhere.

@TisTree @popcornreel I don't hate white people. Some of my best friends are white.

My statement is an objective fact. There are an amazing number of white people who state their plans to move..somewhere..as their solution to political problems here in the U.S.

Noting that, and its futility, isn't hateful, at all.

Your defensiveness is...interesting, though.

They didn’t add to the discourse, offer a counter-argument, or even declared “Screw that! I’m staying and fighting! Let’s vote!”.

Just straight to the accusation.

Yep. Now we know how THESE folks would deal with being oppressed, red lined, or discriminated against.

I can be shot while jogging. I’m the only black guy at my office.

Grow a pair and fight!
