It appears his issue is that white people are not trustworthy enough to work with fellow white people around racism. Huh.

Yet he trusts himself to be trustworthy enough to tell black people what to do, and how to organize. Kinda awkward, no?

Interesting, too, that he's essentially demanding that black people do the work of teaching white people about racism.

Meanwhile, a nonblack woman of color is saying that m4bl is holding a "segregated" convening bc they've asked white folks not to attend.

She's sort of got a lot of anti-black stuff going on already—but calling the Movement 4 Black Lives convening "segregated"?! My gawd.

Imagine if a group of women had a convening and asked men not to attend. You'd be an asshole if you said it was a segregated event, huh?

Anyway, all this to say: we need to trust black people who are organizing to, well, organize. As they see fit. Full stop.
