Israel wants to dump the Palestinians in South Sudan. We can expand our geopolitical sense. We can connect dots. We can talk more clearly about Sudan.
By the way, watch this: David Hundeyin| | US Secret War in Sudan: The Hidden Truth Revealed. I was excited to see this interview on Jamarl Thomas's channel.
Once again, laying the charge that you are talking about Gaza but not about Sudan or DRC or Haiti and this shows you don't value black lives is not a sound political statement. Again, can you prove folks don't care for black lives? Who are you directing this outrage to? For what purpose? Can you goad someone to say something for the sake of saying it?
At the end of it, online activism by individuals is for their own: their own rage, their own stances, their own sense of activism. Online activism by political movements is local and, addresses local issues first and then makes the global connections. So, directing allegations of racism against individuals is random and, really useless.
If you direct your critique at major well known personalities, public figures, celebrities, political figures and, attack them for their silence, you have the right to do so. But, attacking individuals for not talking about this while they are talking about something else has little or no use.
Also, using the "you don't care about black people" is a veiled threat , allegation of racism , which of course can't be proven because individuals are not institutions that perpetuate structural racism, the latter which need to be dismantled. Can you dismantle an individual? Or is it more about cancelling them in the online digital world?
This hyper frenzied sentiment of attacking folks for their alleged racism is a little on the lines of the allegations of anti Semitism. Anyone protesting Israeli crimes is now an anti Semite, is racist towards Jews. Anyone who doesn't support trans is a TERF and subject to attacks, subject to allegations of not being woke enough, for not caring for trans people, especially black or brown trans persons.
And, if you are saying something about Gaza online but haven't said anything about Sudan, means you are a racist.
Also, if you know someone has racist attitudes , why do you want them to advocate for Sudan, anyway ?
Craft your arguments so they actually make sense and are, useful. Direct your rage against the silence of organisations, leaders, celebrities, public figures, politicians, and hypocritical individuals if you must. For individuals, be prepared to have proof they are indeed racist and, knowingly are silent.
Otherwise, this is infinite hyper righteous policing with no end.
