Recentering on anti-Blackness: I never see non-black people's solidarity scrutinized, measured, judged the way ours is.
Leftists will address whether they think a Black person is doing "enough" for the movement before they'll address their own actions in the same way, or allegations of harmful behavior toward Black ppl.
You cannot marginalize and harm a group and then expect perfect solidarity, condemning individuals who don't make the arbitrary cut you designated. That is abusive behavior.

See also: misogyny, sexual assault, transphobia, ableism, whorephobia, classism (which is ironic), and xenophobia. These alongside white supremacist delusion are all issues leftists must address within self as well as with community.
I will say that the anti-racist response in the UK is encouraging so there's that. But so many aspects of engaging with leftist spaces require you to check certain aspects of your humanity at the door--while telling you you don't have to do that. Needs improvement!

All imma say today is this: "leftists" sorely need to address their anti-Blackness and fuck yes that includes here.
And no, it's not not important because it's "identity politics". Half of you fucks don't even know what that phrase means or its black feminist origins, you just use it so that you don't have to do the work of reckoning within yourself and can guiltlessly continue your mostly-white circlejerk of self-congratulatory delusions of moral superiority.
