      Black people have been and continue to be subjugated for being black though. Let’s not pretend like exploitation in the US isn’t race-based.

      Of course our goal is liberation for all, but let’s be real, any attempts at justice will necessarily assist black people especially, because they have been treated especially poorly for centuries.

        The best and fastest way to do that would be to win a victory with a multiracial coalition.

        There reason reparations haven’t happen is because this strategy isn’t as effective.

          You mean the rainbow coalition? It was multiracial and was led by black revolutionaries and emphasized black justice. So I dunno why you’re insisting that black reparations and multiracial equity are mutually exclusive. They’re not.

          Also it didn’t succeed because its leaders were assassinated and the movement got broken up by the feds. Reparations haven’t happened because racism is profitable for capitalists, not because people haven’t organized hard enough.

      This is the type of shit patsocs say to deny black and indigenous peoples’ rights to self determination.
