(18,486 posts)But even if his only problem with wokeness is messaging and he thinks the messaging should be better, if he is so sure of what then messaging should be, why isn't HE communicating the message to white people instead of complaining about how we're doing it.
This can't all be in us. White people need to do a better job talking and explaining to each other and stop demanding that WE do all the explaining. Because one of the main reasons the message isn't getting to the white people Carville is so enamoured of has little to do with the message itself and much to do with the messenger. These people are much more likely to hear and appreciate the message coming from their fellow white people that anything that we're saying - as proven by the fact that they NEVER seem to hear what we're saying and that started long before anyone ever said the words "Defund the Police "
White people need to stop lecturing people of color about how we need to do a better job communicating with white people and start trying harder to convince their own people to pay attention to civil rights a d social justice.
