Idk what these other people are fucking talking about, but you’re right. Legitimately, they cannot name a connection between Tupac and Jeffries other than that the men are black.
Never pretend that leftists are immune to racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other bigotry. We aren’t. But man, does it seem like our brand of bigotry is just as hard to admit to.
It’s always been a problem in left wing and especially internet left wing spaces. There’s a reason that traditionally black revolutionaries and white revolutionaries tend not to collaborate that much, unfortunately. Intersectionality is difficult for everyone to adapt to.
It’s pretty racist, given the only connection to Tupac would be his race. Absolutely not a single other detail is the same between the two. Jeffries doesn’t even claim to have been poor or from ‘the hood’ or anything that might make a plausible excuse to use the nickname.

Race is certainly a secondary factor, however the term was coined by a black man. If you think a black man calling another black man a nickname based on a third black man is racist then you should think calling Stephen Miller ‘Pee-wee Himmler’ is equally racist.
Thank you AIPAC Shakur!
Just a reminder AIPAC Shakur sounds good but is rather racist and disrespects the Shakur name dramatically.

It isn’t racist, but it is stupid and disrespectful.

I don’t, personally.
Yeah, black people can be racist to other black people, have you heard of Clarence Thomas or ever heard Jeffries speak at any point?
It doesn’t stop anything.
I see we’ve dodged my other points, got it.
What are you talking about? The connection is AIPAC sounds like Tupac. It’s literally nothing to do with race.
Cool, so I can call Chuck Shumer APAIC Shakur?
Call anyone anything, no one cares. Just stop your tedious finger wagging.
It’s a stupid thing to say regardless, but I doubt anyone would call you out saying Chuck isn’t the correct race, so you can’t say that.
This is a silly amount of circular logic to defend a racist nickname.
It’s literally linear.
My argument: it’s not about race
My comment: people won’t bring up race
This fucking guy: CIRCULAR LOGIC!!!
Plus pretty sure Tupac’s mother was invested in fighting for freedoms and such.
