    When you definitely want something to be widely talked about: "The conversation should be led by trans women of color who are Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities."

      I also doubt the sincerity of "let's listen to trans women of color on this one." If they're serious about that, surely they wouldn't mind starting with some trans women of color Harris put in men's prisons.

    I don't trust white people of any stripe (including me) to bring enough nuance.

    So why won't you shut the fuck up?

    Trans women of color

    well known for wanting nobody to criticize people who lock them in men's prisons

    Its extremely cool of Sady to give black trans women the entire burden of criticizing the Vice-President, a small and marginalized group verses the second most powerful person the country. Also please don't listen to the same trans activists when they call on everyone to join them, its simply not our place to criticize the first POC VP.

        On June 1, 1868, 100 Cheyenne warriors invaded the Kaw Reservation. The Kaw men painted their faces, donned regalia, and rode out on horseback to confront the Cheyenne. The rival Indian warriors put on a display of superb horsemanship, accompanied with war cries and volleys of bullets and arrows. Terrified white settlers took refuge in nearby Council Grove. After about four hours, the Cheyenne retired with a few stolen horses and a peace offering of coffee and sugar from the Council Grove merchants. No one had been injured on either side. During the battle, Joe Jim, a Kaw interpreter, galloped 60 miles (97 km) to Topeka to seek assistance from the governor. Riding with Jim was the eight-year-old Charles Curtis, then nicknamed "Indian Charley".[6]

        If you have to do war, this is a pretty good way to do it

        The vice president has only two forms of hard power, they are the tiebreaker for the senate and are first in line to replace the president.

        Other than that they have plenty of soft power through their position but unless the president is on their deathbed they aren't even in contention for second most powerful person in the US.

    Why trans women of color specifically? Because they have deemed them to be the most marginalised group of people?

    If she spent her time actually listening to those "trans women of colour" instead of posting dumb shit on twitter, maybe she would fucking understand why trans women hate Harris.

    Liberals trade in a currency of victimisation, but are inherently class exclusionary. They don't want to give opportunity to the working class or to integrate our cultures, they want it for them selves and demand conformity, appropriating the hardship of others to legitimise their own terrible liberal takes so they can sell them to other liberals who equally believe in the legitimacy of their own superiority.

    Popular opinion: the punching bag routine where white liberals are like "I'm hwhite, so my opinion here doesn't matter at all, but..." is just a way to feel like a good person for not taking a strong position because you're scared you'll get yelled at.

    This lib flavor of racism is now gonna go mainstream for everything and I hate it a lot.

    Don't argue against it. Only ridicule will do anything. Like asking what Elizabeth Warren as a Native Amercian thinks of this or whatever.
