"But I saw some people point out that the optics of a bunch of white people pointing to a screen where Hakeem Jeffries is up there and saying, You're next! You're next! You're next! You're next. It's not good. And they're right. They're right about that. That cannot be just casually dismissed. And I've said this for a long time, and I'll continue to say it. The left, which is the DSA, which is politically my home, needs to understand some of the nuances of racial politics in America. And if you truly want to court black voters and black people, you're going to have to do that. Because the thing about the Republicans has always been, with the Republicans, you see a lot of people go, Hey, why don't you guys vote Republican? Why don't you guys just give it a spin? Give it a spin. Why not? Why not? Why not? And the answer to the question is you won't let us. Black people that I know that are conservative, that lean a little bit more conservative, they almost have to be moderate Democrats because the base of the Republican Party is so viciously racist, so viciously racist with the way they attack black people to build their political power that no black person with any type of race consciousness or self-esteem would ever be a Republican. Ever be a Republican. Because in order to be a black Republican, you got to say shit like, Maybe we were better off during Jim Crow. And there's no coincidence that that was said. Jim Crow, during Jim Crow, the black family was together. That's right. During Jim Crow, more black people were not just conservative, because black people were always a big conservative migrant, but more black people voted conservatively. And then there was a political movement to sort of bring back Jim Crow, right? And the left has to learn that lesson. The left has to learn the lesson of you got to talk to us nice. Because if you don't talk to us nice, then we can't believe anything else that you say. The first thing that needs to happen with black people in this country from any political movement is an acknowledgement of history and of current time and an understanding. And if you're not prepared to do that, we won't be friends. And I'm on the left, but that is a fact. If you're not prepared to do that, then we can't be friends. So when someone says, hey, Hakeem Jeffries fucking sucks, but maybe don't point at the screen and go, you're next, because that looks like a slave auction."
