But that's not exactly what the OP is attempting?

No, because in the OP the person speaking is on their own behalf, is a black woman, and not an uppity know it all white college liberal thinking they know more about black oppression than blacks do.

The OP specifically picked her to do exactly that.
And it's in fitting with the general pattern she has displayed with memes overemphasizing race and the inability to see certain people beyond or outside of that. Usually in a negative, fear-mongering light, but also tokenism as seen above.

That makes no sense , posting a person speaking on their own behalf is not tokenism, telling a certain race how oppressed they are when you are not part of that race is a big problem with the left. They have to finally realize that black people as well as other minorities can think for theirselves and do not need liberals to think for them.

Which is exactly what the OP is attempting to do.
Saying "The them are wrong, so come to our side" is the same thing, the only difference is what side of the pretend fence you're looking from.

I am sorry my man, I just don't see the relationship of a person telling you how they feel and someone else telling you how a 3rd party should feel. Taking someone own words and applying them is not the same ( to me) as using your words for how you think they should feel.

The person in the video did not make and submit the meme. That's not what the issue is. Heck, I get told that I'm Democrat on a daily basis on this site myself. By foreigners who claim that when United Statians register to vote, we must register with a declared political party. I also get told I'm a Democrat because I'm not an Anglo. I also get told that I'm a Democrat because I'm not a Trumper. I feel her grain [see what I did there?]

The issue is the issue that's being made, one framed by the posting history and inclinations of the OP. If you are unfamiliar with it, then look at the profile.

I get it , So you are more irked with the poster than the meme itself. I am not looking that deep into it, I am just looking at the meme at its face value, and my original meme comment to Sax was becuase he was dismissing what the individual was saying and claimed that - all black people are harmed by trump , which is a racist generalization.

Neither. After 8 years of looking at this stuff, if it irks me, then I need to seek help.

The subject of the meme post is what? Why was she selected? Why was she singled out? What makes her worth turning into a meme as compared to anybody else? What does her race have to do with anything?

This is the issue that the OP has, not me, and it fits in with a recurring pattern.

I think the fact that this person with this race was chosen was to show liberals that no, not all black people are democrats or hate trump and to think that is racist. I know both sides generalize , but no does it as bad as social justice warriors, people that use how they look and their secuality as the ultimate judge instead of character. Saxon went out of his way to dismiss what this young lady was saying, that is why I interjected my comment.

So hockey pucking people around, categorizing them as nothing but a color coded lump instead of just regular people who think, act, and do as they will is not as bad when those with a curious reputation for having a greater tendency to be unkindly to them do it than it is with those who pet them on their head like a prized mascot do it?

Are you familiar with Ralph Ellison's "The invisible Man"?

Here's another take on the theme, from an article about the movie, "Get Out" -

"Jordan Peele has talked about how there’s an element of dehumanization when you can only see someone’s color and not the whole person. Kaluuya has addressed this too, telling Vulture about “the party scene, when everyone was highlighting how black Chris was and saying ‘black’ things and being nice. You kind of can’t say anything, because you know the intention is to make people feel welcome. However, the impact is making people feel isolated and different, because you just want to feel included, like you belong. That’s what the conflict is, and that’s what it captured.”

This specific kind of casual racism is wildly devastating: It’s recognizing a stranger has designated your race as your defining characteristic. When you’ve spent a lifetime becoming an interesting, thoughtful, well-rounded human, this oversimplification stings. But is your frustration overwrought? Maybe they were just trying to make you comfortable and didn’t know how to otherwise relate? And that’s the mindf**k."

I'll check it out, Loved the invisible man 1933 , His insane laugh was always haunting to me. we all have to do better when it comes to lumping people or coming off as patronizing when we do give them the podem. I was talking to my dad the other day and he is in his late 80s, he was telling me how the nurse at the drs office was talking to him like he was a toddler, so dismissive and patronizing, it seems we do with to all kinds of people ,not just different races but different age groups also without even realizing it, it is definitely something we all should work on not doing.

Look at who you are having this argument with. He does this to everyone he disagrees with. He takes a simple premise and convolutes it with his word salads and then tells you you are wrong.
You simply cannot have a reasonable discussion or argument with someone who is unreasonable.
