White people attending these “No Kings” gatherings need to appreciate the fact that Black people are keeping you safe from police, by largely staying in our homes.

Black people did not meet and discuss this. Strategic patriotism like this is part of who we are. Always has been. ✊🏽🇺🇸

I think a lot of people on the left have zero problem with Black people losing their voting rights

Melanie Jean @princessmom122.bsky.social · 1d

If white people on the left can’t accept that at the end of the day the issue is race, we won’t get through this. We’re on the cusp of the Supreme Court handing segregationists & white nationalists a huge win. And they know it. This is why we lose elections. More than anything, so imagine post-sec2.

Then the Bible was in the chat. He mentioned something about demonic… I don’t deal in devils & demons. We don’t believe in those concepts in ATR/ADR. Weird how are traditions are deemed demons when we don’t believe they exist.

He literally started the whole convo with “Putting aside political parties, we would agree on many of the same things.” That devolved into “the Democrats don’t deal in facts, they deal in emotions.” “For example: Trans.” It went on from there. I asked where he got his facts. He said in the Bible.

I said, “So, selective science beliefs?” Well, now the Bible was in the custody of. He went AUF!! I was dealing w/ the 78/I-15 split in rush hour so couldn’t tell you all he said. I must have gone into a fugue-state. Cuz the last thing I remember is him getting out saying thx for the ride (cont)

He gave a lengthy description of how when you burn up a body and the bones are left, 😬 The DNA, the science, confirms it. I said, “So you *do* believe science! Then you must believe that the world is older than 2,000 yrs old , right?” He gasped! No, the Bible tells us it’s 2,000?yrs old! (Cont)

Ya’ll, I just had the worst Lyft rider. Black, femme-ish make. It was a $$ fare so it was a longer haul. Lort… 15 of 35 minutes in we were chatting. He said something about Democrats and if we took politics out of it, we agree on many things via facts. He then went in on trans people. (Cont)

Do ya’ll not realize that if *we* show up, ya’ll are going to get gassed and shot at? And seriously, tho, you’re preaching promoting voting to a Black woman, the most reliable Dem voting block in the country? Over 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs. We are busy shoring up our communities.
