Came across this Twitter thread and thought they made good points.
Presidential candidates in 2024.
Yes, I am doing this.
You know when Sanders lost the election.
Nov, 11, 2016.
Sanders slammed " civil rights" as identity politics foreclosing the possibility of the black vote. The defining vote in the primary. https://t.co/V0cTdMQi2w— Democrat, Environmentalist, & the establishment (@BlueSteelDC) June 13, 2020
Yes, black people are not a monolith.
But yet we vote 92% with the Democratic party.
As if we are huddled in a protective posture of self-defense.
Whether you are a bus driver or a billionaire -your blackness can mean a shorter mortality in this country

Racism is a disease of the mind. It leads people to believe their own superiority as a defense from the threat of "others" challenging their sense of self.
That happens everywhere. @QueenMab87

Boiling racism down to the one dimension is offensive –enough.
But then proceeding to teach people to color the true nature of racisms – is peak ignorance.

Making 50,000 dollars a year as a research analyst may make you middle class by most measures. But if every research analyst in your company is making 80,000 thousand this is still discrimination.

Blk people with 780 credit scores are directed to loan products with a 17% interest rate-while someone with a murkier rating receives a prime loan
This is what discrimination looks like
And this was a large part of the financial collapse in 2008. Fixing this helps the economy

Don't take off that weight. Go see your doctor.. and fight to be taken seriously.
In education, you own teacher may be harsher with you than your peers for the same behavior.
There are so many dimensions to racism. That I understand you can't see it allhttps://t.co/F3PEvtdjXR— Democrat, Environmentalist, & the establishment (@BlueSteelDC) June 13, 2020
So if a community has this life thread of being industrious the worst thing you can do in miss that energy.

This is some muthaphuckin’ BULLSHYT!!!!
Pentagon ENDS the career of USS Theodore Roosevelt captain Brett Crozier after upholding decision to fire him over leaked letter and BLAMES HIM for coronavirus outbreak aboard the ship
When the coronavirus outbreak was discovered on the Roosevelt, Crozier sent an email to several commanders pleading for more urgent action
That email was leaked to media, and the acting Navy secretary at the time, Thomas Modly, accused Crozier of bad judgment
He was relieved of his command on April 2, and an initial investigation found he should be reinstated
But a deeper probe upheld the decision to fire him because he ‘made serious errors in judgement’ that failed to stem the outbreak
More than 1,000 members of the USS Theodore Roosevelt crew were infected with coronavirus, and one died
The ship was sidelined for weeks at Guam but recently returned to duty.
Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
