Just based on ppl's skin color? IDK I'm trying to fight for a society where ppl aren't using skin color to determine whether to interact with ppl or how to treat ppl.
I agree that race is more than skin color. When humans are born into this world we don't choose our skin color. But race is a construct foisted upon us without our consent to legitimize certain hierarchies, and to divide people who would otherwise find community with one another. Whom among us really chooses what race we are? Why should we cede soverignty over our own identity to a construct that uses it only for benign purposes. In the vision of utopia we are fighting for, why destroy the hierarchies but maintain the construct of race? What purposes does it serve that aren't malignant? Hearing that you would choose to hang out/not hang out with people just because of race also further convinces me it is a malignant construct, but because we are in disagreement i want to try to understand your thinking.
More than anything it just seems like a useless gesture? I can't really comment on the notion of black-only/nonwhite spaces; I'm inclined to think that their benefits outweigh whatever issues they might pose to class solidarity across race but I haven't read anything on it. But Twitter is not really a platform that's conducive to carving out spaces like that. You kinda just have to deal with whatever mfs decide to get in your replies and mentions.

leftism is when you only think in terms of bodies and spaces, and the more you think in terms of bodies and spaces the more left it is

The hegemonic group doesn't mind either, so I'm glad everyone agrees.
Going straight here is :LIB: shit at best

Solidarity is when you segregate by race, and the more that you segregate by race, the more solidarity you build!
