This. Jebreal’s slur against Hakeem Jeffries is especially poisonous because she deployed it in a context where she is attempting to promote an anti-racism campaign. It’s gross on its own terms, but it also very much benefits the fascists who want to normalize racial hierarchy and ethnic cleansing.
@spiderswarz.bsky.socialYou can always criticize a person in power who does harm and is of a marginalized identity, ESPECIALLY if they happen to be a Black person, without resorting to anything even near a slur.
And if you do, even somehow "unintentionally" you take full accountability, no ifs ands or buts.
Do better.
