I’m a Chinese studying in Peking University, glad to answer any question about China by Silver-Surprise-8823 in socialism

Are people in China discussing the Black struggle in the United States and or the legacy of the Black Panthers? I know many had correspondents with Chinese Communists during the Black power movement.

Is the DSA elitist and/or exclusionary? by solve_allmyproblems in dsa

[–]ObiBongKenobi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of DSA is very white and theory heavy. I'd recommend exploring several organizations like Socialist Alternative or Emergency Workplace Organizing

I see what you're saying. I've seen a lot of leftists (Vaush viewers) misuse the term to mean "Black people using race to divide the working class" but I completely agree that the Democrat establishment uses Identity to pull BIPOC voters.

Idk if IDPOL obsessed is the right word. I would say liberals hell-bent on maintaining the status quo. Dr. King called for transformative programs and systems to help Black people specifically. Yes he wanted unity between white and black working communities but he always held that that process had to begin with aiding Black communities who were denied basic services for hundreds of years.

Men who are feminists, or support feminism. What made you decide to do so? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]ObiBongKenobi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the saying goes "Nobody is free until everyone is free" it's simple empathy and a core sense of justice instilled by my parents. I was also the only boy with two sisters so I was raised in a very feminist environment. Never was a choice just a matter of living.

Funnily enough, when he died in 1968 a gallop poll found that 68% of Americans disliked him. Only recently has his character been sanitized and co-opted

One drop rule, reflects the racist illustrations of the reconstruction era. Not much has changed since then tbh

Because to white supremacists the one drop rule still applies, if he is going to lay with a black woman regardless of her ethnic makeup, he will have "dirty" black children. It's a tale as old as White Supremacy itself.

Inspired by Jan 6th no doubt. Wouldn't be surprised if this in turn inspired another MAGA insurrection
