    That’s literally been my whole deal with Kamala since day one. Attack her for all her bad political choices and how she upholds the status quo, do not attack her for being a woman or being black or being a black woman. It’s that simple. Viciously critique her on the stuff she says and does, other stuff just seems unnecessary. All this “is she black enough” or is she “too black” or the alterative “woman enough/not woman enough” is all plainly wack to me. She’s a cop, deeply uncharismatic, and generally everything wrong about the modern DNC, that’s all more than enough to dunk on her for in my book. All the “IDENTITY™©®” stuff I think one can leave out without losing any meaningful argument.

    I have been going to my local library and checking out a ton of books on nerd shit. Trying to get more well-read and reading a bunch of more this year. My plan is to write my own video game world full of cool nerd-ass lore with cool pro-black undertones and themes in a fantasy realm without the lame “this thing X is obviously just the author’s stand-in for black thought”. As such I’m just reading more em_poc fantasy authors, and there are a TON (which is both cool and good). It’s crazy how easy it is finding the types of books, just going to my local library and asking the staff.

    Go to your local library, it rules.
