Punishing Black Women for the Crime of Existing & Flourishing
By now, most of the United States has been made aware of the goal of the #abandonHarris "Movement"...to punish VP Harris. Why does she need to be punished... a short story...she dares to be Black, brilliant, and successful. There was NO call for the punishment of Biden. They did attempt to muddy the factual waters regarding what Biden did, was able to do, and was willing to do. No one called for former Secretary of State Clinton to be punished and she had more power regarding Palestine and Israel.
One can try to "sugarcoat" the motivation behind this band of uncommitted election terrorists...but the misogynoir is deafening at this point. They are choosing to undercut the SINGULAR political option (at the commander-in-chief level) instead of bringing light to why Zionists and their sympathizers should NOT be returned to office. This is a collection of people that are CHOOSING to ignore the FACT that [repetitively] the GOP has ensured the continuation of a genocide. Ignored the BLATANT tyrannical comradery of two criminal politicians attempting to assist one another in evading imprisonment and continued appearances within courtrooms.
Self-proclaimed Zionist, current POTUS, and long-time friend of Bibi from Philly has yet to receive the vitriol that is being directed towards a CANDIDATE whose current position only yields a DUO of legislative powers. 😏 The aspiring dictator who has already seized the other side of the aisle has not been threatened with punishment. He has NOT hidden his desire to accumulate as much power as possible nor has he shied from unwavering support for Israel to eliminate Palestine and its people. Yet...NO ONE is being asked to #abandonTrump. 😕
This pseudo movement is not singular in the belief that Black women are to be punished due to the woes of the world. Black men (and even a subset of Black women) have decided that the genocide of Palestinians is the fault of VP Harris. Per their "reasoning," SHE had MONTHS to end the genocide. Re-read that last sentence. Biden wasn't responsible...although he was previously labeled 'genocide Joe'. Bibi isn't/wasn't responsible...even though it is clear that he is prolonging the carnage and lying to the globe. Congress isn't responsible...although the GOP-heavy institution's only completed works have been ensuring Bibi has the finances to continue his genocide and lying diligently to the populace of the US. 😓
The utter irony is that the community of women that are [most often] called upon to fix what others have broken are also held responsible for the tyranny of others. The only accountability that appears to be acceptable within the confines of this stolen and gentrified land is what is forced upon majestically melanated women. Any given day, this nation praises its translucent founding fathers and their descendants for "conquering" other lands and people with minimal pushback. BUT now that the utter tyranny that is Israel is being exposed [in real time] to the world, atrocities are the fault of Black women. A demographic of people that are BARELY stepping into a semblance of power. 😏
At this point, I am waiting for this nation to come together and blame Back women for chattel slavery, Jim Crow, encampments, stolen land, and the Holocaust. Given the past time of those benefitting from privilege working overtime to attempt to downplay the severity of said events...this would be their next step. But, these are people who believe that their privilege will protect them from what will be bestowed should they lie a viable candidate into the loss column of history for the sake of punishing Black women for a genocide orchestrated by WHITE MEN.
