Ever think part of the problem here could be focusing on and reinforcing focus on division by color of skin, hmmmm? Is there really a "white vs. black" clear divide anymore? Isn't some of the purity testing just reinforcing what stupid cops do in their profiling? Who the fuck are "white people" anyways?

Here's one way the problem could be solved. Everyone who has a slave ancestor gets papers proving that and they get special protest privileges. That would mean Latinos without slave ancestors that get targeted by police would have to start their own movement. As far as people of "indigenous" ancestry railing on police representing and reinforcing what the conquistadores did half a millenia ago, I got nothing, no ideas, sorry.

and inspired bythe illustration for the NYT article, I got a question for Kamala Harris: which side are you on, babe, which side are you really on?

yeah and the whole caste system is sickeningly intertwined with skin color as a major signifier.
