This title and the doubling down on the nonsense is why afro-pessimism exists for the record.

This is the dumbest post I have seen in ... hours.

Progressives impotently punching at black people because Progressive social media person is unhappy with purity language tests.

Hows about run for office, Ms Rachel ? Put your past through the ringer publicly to help more than rich children with fast internet, nice computers, and free time to be talked to by a stranger online. You know ... children of wealth.

Or make sure y'all stay as divided as possible. That is what wins the day!

This com isn’t about actual progressive politics but continuing to drive a wedge. Keep watching

This post is proof positive, this is the norm here.

Obama wrote this on the anniversary of the Oct 7th attacks and was referring to the families of those specific attacks.

That’s why he started with two years and published it really close to two years after the Oct 7th attacks.

It’s obvious from context. “Uncle Tom,” indeed.

Ms. Rachel didn’t do a good job of reading this.

He's not a president anymore? Why do people still call him that?
