And that's cause like... damn near 50% of us live in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty! Even the ones with money! And another 30% probably grew up in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty. And yeah, those are the same ones who write for the root and VSB and whatever else.

So once again: trust black folks. When we say "idk smells like racism," do a self-crit or whatever. Even if it's a Bad Neoliberal Black Person. Trust women (especially black women). When they say "idk smells like sexism," take it seriously.

Okay I'm going to shut up now I'm just ranting because this has been irritating me for a minute and I don't have anything to do at work today bc I am a parasite labor aristocrat living off of the surplus of the global proletariat. (I'm like 85% serious about that.)
