For decades, most Black political commentary has expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people, but recently, a new phenomenon has appeared, particularly on social media platforms, which accuses all Palestinians of being anti-Black racists, and asserts that aligning with them is either of no use to Black people or even that it is detrimental to our own cause. Some of these individuals are Democratic Party operatives attempting to maintain Black voter loyalty as Israeli war crimes in Gaza remain a campaign issue. Others are of a right wing tendency which either supports U.S. imperialism or asserts that Black politics can and should stand alone, and that any talk of solidarity with Palestinians or other peoples is misguided.

It's not surprising that these questions have come to the fore as the Democratic National Convention is taking place in Chicago, while so-called ceasefire talks take place in Israel, even though Israel continues to reject any talk of a real ceasefire and Kamala Harris promises to keep sending them weapons. Black Agenda Report editor and columnist Ajamu Baraka provides his analysis in conversation with Executive Editor Margaret Kimberley.

Do not be fooled, family. There's hella motherfuckers out here who want to see our solidarity split; and some of them look and act like us. This is why they want us to assimilate so badly; so we stop expressing solidarity with the enemies of the Settlement. Or not even the enemies of the Settlement; even the innocents in the way of what the Settlement's allies want!

They want you cosigning the genocide just as breathlessly as Harris, Booker, or Jeffries would; and they will dissemble, cudgel, and cajole until either you do, or until you make it clear that they'll have to chalk you out too to kill your solidarity.

While Joe Biden spoke during the opening night at the convention a group of delegates who want to end the Israeli genocide managed to sneak in a banner which read, “Stop Arming Israel .” One delegate felt compelled to hit one of the protesters on the head with a sign. Others moved to cover up the banner and then began shouting, “We love Joe!” Nadia Ahmad is the Florida delegate who was struck on the head. “They’re up there talking about fascism and like hitting me on the head with ‘I love Joe’ signs. That’s not a good look,” she said in what is perhaps the biggest understatement of the convention.

Let me just say how much it fuckin sickens me that the community has gone from "Not Like Us" to falling in around Kamala like she's not the same Cop City-repping, 1033-funding, genocide-collaborating ghoul that Genocide Joe is, just with a misleader's coat of paint.

28 articles, summing up to about seven years worth of critique on the Swine Queen of Cali. This shit ain't new, she's been giving us reasons to despise her even BEFORE she was in spitting distance of figureheadery.

If you want a proper Black review of this beef, you need to go to a proper Black essayist. Todd.

I don't think, not since I became aware of his analyses, that comrade Baraka has ever once been off the mark with his reading-for-filth of the Black Misleadership Class. It's his eye we need to be evaluating the settlers and their minstrels with-- not the likes of Grandmaster Jay, of Tariq Nasheed, or of Umar Johnson.

As Harris said recently , “I am eager to run on the record of what Joe and I have accomplished together.” That means a continuation of the same – wars abroad and austerity domestically.

Just in case anyone thought Harris was going to suddenly pivot for real against the genocide. That woman was bought-and-paid-for by white supremacy LONG before she had executive aspirations-- she was a pig before!

It breaks my heart seeing would-be comrades thinking that just because of a few pretty words in spite of her condemnations of literally-attacked protestors, that she is suddenly going to take the concerns of the Dearborn bloc, or the protestors who recently went to DC seriously. We need to be real about this woman. We need to not be white-liberal-naive about this woman.

Meet the new boss, same as the bad cop.
