Using the harm you've caused Black women, and most likely are continuing to cause Black women, as a means to promote your political agenda is not activism. Hope this helps. 

I ran across this post last night and stopped because I saw a lot of my mutuals supporting it. I've now processed my feelings around it and with the facilitator’s condescending responses can say, I'm glad I questioned the intent. People are using Kamala as a weird scapegoat-token-savior and it's bringing deadly performative practices back into fashion. 

The very telling part of the facilitator's comments and how I know this event will do more harm than good is the deflection of blame unto White people and the "involved" unnamed Black women. White supremacy culture is a culture we are all capable of partaking in. The facilitator may want  the audience to believe this is to benefit Black women but that's not possible when these nonBlack women are propping themselves as more than capable of having/leading these conversations without us.

I told y'all in my piece You Hate Us 🤠. They only love us when we are being used as pawns. They don't actually care for Black bodies and will do anything to act like they do, all while doing everything they can to kill us. Below is a White person I don't know, who is included in the aforementioned panel, sending me money with patronizing language. Anyways, please send this no sense making Black person money. 🙃

Jen Self sends K money with "Go get 'em." shortly after K calls their panel distasteful.
