@middleeasteye: Within the last week, social media has been inundated with a debate between two communities that have been allied for decades: progressive Black Americans and Palestinian Americans. Since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential election, some Black Americans – who previously opposed President Joe Biden – have changed their minds about not voting for the Democratic party. Tiktok creator Tori Grier told her followers that although she doesn’t fully support Harris, she would rather, as a Black woman, have her in office than Donald Trump. An anonymous commenter responded that Grier should take the Palestine flag emoji out of her name if she was going to vote for Harris. Grier then removed the flag and said that she wouldn’t publicly support Palestine again. The event that sparked the widespread “beef” was a live between Grier and Palestinian TikTokker Maya Abdallah, who had previously made a video criticising Grier for not taking the Palestinian issue seriously enough, and being quick to revoke her support after just one comment. In the live, the two creators got into a heated debate that led to Abdallah muting Grier multiple times, prompting many Black social media users to criticise Abdallah’s behaviour in the live. 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read more ✍️ : MEE/Maysa Mustafa

I know Tulsa got bombed at one point in time but you can’t call Palestinians privileged for being in an acute genocide.

Race isn’t real. Race isn’t real. Race isn’t real. Race isn’t real. Race isn’t real. It was invented by white supremacists to divide and conquer the masses in exactly the way you are watching unfold.

Bro the black panthers in the Middle East were Mizrahi Jews - even Angela Davis meet with them. You people are losing it - your support should be a direct derivative from you ethnic background

Solidarity my ass. Zionists and Pro-Palestinians marched with BLM. Give you one guess which one tried to use it as an opportunity to boost their movement, and guess who used it as an opportunity to help a struggling community? Some solidarity.
