(958 posts)Central & Slavic European & Ashkenhazi Jewish Blood flowing in my veins. The "Race War" trope has been around for as long as the African part of my family has been here. A Race war was going to happen due to Obama being elected, to jim crow being dismantled, to people of color being able to actually vote, ad nauseum. This is a means of frightening people, (usually white people) into fighting against treating other human beings with decency-living and letting live.
I call BULLSHIT on this nonsense. POC, especially NA & African Americans know STRAIGHT UP what it means to be in this space. We were enslaved to do the work of LAZY folks who wanted the wealth WITHOUT doing the work themselves, were sold like livestock, were LITERALLY murdered, (AKA LYNCHED) for any number of reasons as well as killed via biowarfare, (ever heard of the Variola infected blankets given to the NA? How about killing the buffalo to starve the NA of the main sources of protein? I got more, if you need me to give you more)... I could go on further but I hope you understand what I'm talking about.
POC will NOT back down due to threat of a "racewar or genocide" because nothing worthwhile has ever been won by bowing and scraping.
