The oldest 1% trick in the book

[Chitown Kev]

55. Ok, let me say "om" three times, first...

You participate here at DU far more than I do, although I am a regular participant in the progressive blogosphere.

I don't know the percentage of posters here at DU that are black; I do know that where I do participate the number runs anywhere from 5-7 percent most times (and for other POC, it may be even less).

POC that participate in the largely white progressive blogs as exemplified by DU or Daily Kos (where I regularly post) are VERY well-informed not only on progressive politics, generally, but on progressive politics as they relate to black communities...in the later case, much moreso that white progressives that participate at these blogs.

It's not THAT much of a denigrating cliché, there IS some truth to your OP, but it is often said in order convince black progressives to prioritize "class politics" over "race politics."

And in the context of this attack on bravenak, the OP makes little sense.

It could be a troll. It may not be.

Simply standing with bravenak is all that is necessary, in this case.
