  • This analysis only makes even a slight amount of sense if you actually don’t know what “context” or “a system” are. These two forces are not in opposition, they’re on the same side. It’s the same racist system being sustained in two slightly different ways and a critical aspect of that is the (fake) appearance of opposition which you have completely bought into. You’re also pretending a lot of democrats aren’t literally impossible to tell apart from republicans even within your framing, which isn’t the case. For example, Joe Biden.


  • They are both racist (and even both very racist), but actively engaging in white supremacy IS WORSE and I shouldn’t have to explain why. You can argue that they are both bad, but I think the side that is okay with a former police officer chasing a black man down with his truck and shooting him might be worse.

    Make an argument that calls out the “tough on crime” narrative that passively destroys the lives of racial minorities, but don’t call them the same. That’s such a weenie position.

    Curious what you think “tough on crime” means and how it’s separate from “white supremacy” and the police killing black people. How is “tough on crime” passive? Do you think the effects of “tough on crime” on the lives of racial minorities were not intentional?
