Elon James White and Imani Gandy Interview Marissa Janae Johnson. Very Illuminating. Thoughts?

26. Did you read that big about Farrakhan in my top paragraph?

Even Alicia Garza, the founder of the #BLM hashtag uses the "White Supremacist Liberal" phrase. Either that term is being used unreflexively as a way of expressing the experience of oppression or it may have sources in Black Muslim history like Malcolm X or Farrakhan.

Instead of lambasting people like me over whether I have "limits", you should be looking into this yourself to see whether this is anti-semitism and whether people are prepared to charge the whole BLM movement with anti-semitism before Bernie adopts it.

Regarding this interview, I thought it was great because it showed that many of the knee-jerk assumptions about the situation made by people on DU were wrong. What it most did for me was it clarified that BLM was not subject to party politics. At all. It shouldn't even be seen at that light. This is useful to know.
