Your org needs to literally stop onboarding white men (and maybe white people entirely depending on your gender split) to be sure you represent the real national makeup of the revolutionary class. A revolution in the US will necessarily be centered on the Black nation, and if you end up 90% white it’s going to be basically impossible to meaningfully recruit Black people, and then you’re not a part of the revolutionary movement anymore. Even if every white guy in your branch is a dedicated Black Nationalist, anti-colonialist feminist (which they should be), people are simply not going to believe it if your org looks like a country club.
My branch was mostly white guys when it was very small, and we intentionally restricted growth along these lines for years to correct that demographic error. Our gender imbalance was totally resolved in about 6 months, and so we tightened the onboarding rules even more. We tell white recruits straight up that they’re going on a waiting list while we prioritize POC comrades. Our national composition is now much closer to our geographic area, but it remains a policy we have to keep in place (thought a bit less restrictive) to be sure we maintain that throughout our future growth.
you can be a freind of the party, you get the education and you volenteer for the party but you dont take up space in membership since youre sooooooooooooooooooo concerned.

You should reach out to your local revolutionary organization and ask how to get involved. I didn’t say “no white people ever”. I said that white guys are significant de-priority for organizations who already have an abundance of them. It may be in your area there’s no demographic imbalance in the org and they can take you in no problem. Or maybe there is, and you’ll need to exist in a more peripheral role than a full member for a while. You can still provide time, labor, and other resources.
