Serious question. Would Will and Amber see the black panther party as shallow identity politics? What about Fred Hampton and the rainbow coalition?

Yes. The more shit I see Amber, especially, say, the more I'm convinced they're a closet white supremacist.

They lost the plot. It's like their brains got stuck in "everything's a grift" gear and now they are like paranoidly busting out the white board and red yarn for any strong position taken on anything.

I think they would probably lean on the fact that they were "marxist" or "proletarian" and totally erase their black identities as organizations/people.

which is a hilariously foolish, fash-sympathetic framing. but i would 100% expect them to do this, CMV chapos

That fash-sympathetic championing of the black panther party in the wrong way.

For white people to talk about them in the context of black identity seems a lot more like tokenization, or at least liberal lipservice, than leftists talking about them in the context of being the only anti-capitalist movement to see any success in America in living memory.

false dichotomy, you can discuss them in both framings simultaneously, my point was plainly that they would refuse to do so because of their point of view.
