Don't Confuse Black Faces For Black Politics

Black politics uses government authority to promote justice claims for black communities, these claims include good jobs, education, and housing for black people who have been disproportionately locked and terrorized out of participating in America.

Black faces, on the other hand, use government authority to promote their individual careers.

Don't let anyone, especially white liberals, shove black faces in front of you if those faces don't have a black politics.

And White people, don't call yourself an ally if you don't have a black politics.
