Some of us are more Stokely than Huey & that's okay i guess, but these ahistorical "solidarity is a myth" takes are becoming a lot. I completely understand the sentiment & have expressed these feelings about the movement as well. A lot of the time it does feel that way.

The reality of solidarity between various ethnic/racial groups is that difference must become strength & for those who occupy a higher position in this hierarchical system must do the work of unlearning. And unlearning don't mean perfection or always saying the right things.

In order for solidarity to exist people have to do the work. We cannot keep playing this wounded, additive oppression game but we can be realistic about power and proximity, about growth, empathy, and inequality. Some of you will be left behind and some of us will divest.

This isn't me trying to convince other Black women to work with the enemy/oppressor btw. I guess i just like to be realistic. I see groups like SisterSong and i see possibility in these intersectional frameworks we are creating/transforming. This me thinking out loud.

For those of you responding about people selling out: 1. My main concern when it comes to solidarity are POC. Not white people, tho some are allies, whatevs. 2. All skinfolk ain't kinfolk. 3. I have a lot of tweets questioning solidarity with nonblack women. 4.pic.twitter.com/GmWu2QAkVu
