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.

    You’d think people would learn after Obama. The guy did so much to uphold white supremacy he outdid Bush. Millions of dollars siphoned away from black working class families into the pockets of rich white men because of the housing crash.

    I’m not black, so I can only speculate from the outside. It’s just bizarre to me as a different minority group to see people not put two and two together. I guess I can’t be surprised given how treat-brained PMCs exist within my own ethnic group.
