Amen. The Democratic Party is part of this co-opting, they arguably co-opted the Black rights movement in general. When they shit on leftists, they are also shitting on a majority of Black American historical figures because this tepid kumbaya Democratic Party really isn't our history for most of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Just this year we had Bill Clinton openly shitting on Stokely Carmichael and telling us negros that John Lewis did things the right way. Joe Biden just condemned riots in PA and like an asshat wrongly invokes MLK the following sentence. Obama swoops in and misguides the NBA players into going back to playing while only getting concessions that are primarily concerned with putting the Democratic Party back into power in the short term- Stadium voting for only the 2020 election instead of permanent, support for Nat'l and local elections where I'm sure no money will be allowed to go to left-leaning candidates, and all these vague "advocacy for public engagement , for police reform, for justice reform" blah blah blah. These brothers don't know who Angela Davis is, Michelle Alexander, Elaine Brown is still alive... fuck there are plenty of local activists and contemporary writers they could have heard out. The NBA is on our side, while the Devos family owns the Magic and Betsy is taking a chainsaw to education.
Even the original March on Washington was co-opted by the Democratic Party and their crew of "Good Negro" ministers, according to Malcolm X. Its all so fucking disappointing, just nothing but token progress in my lifetime. Its always increments for us while they keep money flowing upwards into white hands.
