Yeah, we’re gonna talk about this in Lace on Race.

For as long as there has been a bootstrap to pull up, black people have been sold the disingenuous bill of goods that all we needed to do was to play the game well, by the rules as they are, and we too would be considered full bore homo sapien sapiens.

Welp.

This puts the lie to that claptrap.

The limits of respectability politics come to light eventually and inevitably, even as, especially as, we eclipse you.

We need to unpack this deplorable dynamic, and the durability of white entitlement to attempt to eviscerate our humanity with words.

We can talk about her throwing her lot in with a party whose party’s legit main platform plank is racism later. Will need a Pepto for *that*…
This discussion, and the toxic dynamic that undergirds it, is crucial.

Undermining people of color as we achieve, even as we are falsely denigrated for lacking accomplishment as a people, is a twofer in the white supremacy handbook.

It must end.
