Absolutely. It feels like gaslighting the way black people have been told that apparently Arab-Black struggles are linked despite the latter group facing discrimination from the former for centuries. Apparently a Malcolm X-PLO photo op, a mural and some tear gas advice that you could Google in 10 seconds is supposed to mean that Black people and Palestinians have always been allies? Ridiculous

Well it seems like Black peoples are just constantly used as the litmus test of oppression and anytime groups are facing oppression the go to is to align with black struggle. It seems disingenuous. Black peoples are not objects to be used they’re human beings just like all other human beings. The other issue is that black struggle is not unique in the world. Struggle happens and has happened all over the world and liberation belongs to all people. To constantly behave as of only one group is the height of oppression erases all the other ppl who are facing oppression as well. Oppression, struggle and liberation are global. They don’t belong to any one group.
