I guess symbolic victories are enough for some of us. With or without Kaep the NFL is still one of the most racist, exploitative organizations out there. Yet many Black folk will still support it and deflect away any criticism for that support. Have you learned nothing? (rhetorical question). Enjoy your table scraps.

The foot soldiers of capitalism where I live are regularly paid overtime hours to guard private businesses in full uniform. That’s the way it is.

Perhaps it’s time to say enough is enough. Stop voting for them. Don’t let their fear tactics sway you (vote for me or else...Republicans!). The Dems are like a mentally abusive lover. They tell you they love you then neglect you. They tell you that you’ll never do better than them so you should just accept it and…

In a white supremacist, capitalist matrix as you’ve so aptly described it, the white supremacist capitalists have all of the power. They can create wealth literally and figuratively out of whole cloth. We are in no position to fight them on those terms. Capitalists make the rules and break, bend, or change them as…

White supremacy cannot be fought through capitalism. This is ridiculous.

Right! Every single cop show and movie is police propaganda. I refuse to watch any of them. Even the ones with Black protagonists.

White people gon’ white. They probably already have a new group up and running.

OK. I see. You want more trustworthy reporting within the confines of the corporate media landscape? Good luck with that.

There are plenty of independent news sources that report objectively. All you have to do is look.

The reporting at The Post is just as bad as The Times. And their op-ed section is far worse. 

And I said nothing against the point you were making. I was bored so I thought I’d share a little info.

Basically. I haven’t and won’t take the time to look into this agency but I bet it’s just a toothless bureaucracy that has no enforcement authority. Police departments are above the law. Nothing will come of this.

101st hasn’t been an actual airborne division since the early stages of Vietnam. It’s an air assault division. 82nd is the Army’s main airborne division.

The essential function of policing in America is to protect the property, rights, and privileges of the ruling class. They maintain the social order and status quo. They don’t work for us! In fact, the Supreme Court has ruled on multiple occasions that police are under no obligation to protect civilians. No amount of…

Why would they even accept his call? 

I don’t hate or oppose BO. However, I do not look at him and his administration uncritically like most liberals and Black folks do. Politics for me is about policy, not emotions. BO is a third-way, corporate politician. He’s not a radical or a reformer. He makes great speeches and ran on a campaign of nebulous…

You’re wasting your time, bruh. You will never, ever, ever get members of the Black liberal/professional class to actually take a critical look at the Obama presidency. Politics for them is about emotions, not issues and policy, and the absolutely adore BHO. Save your keystrokes.

There was a guy running for president who built his platform around addressing this very issue. You know, healthcare as a basic right for all not a commodity. I wonder what became of him and his campaign.

By not advocating for universal, free healthcare coverage - healthcare as a human right - you are doing a disservice not only to Black women, but all Americans. Access to healthcare doesn’t guarantee one’s right to obtain it. I have access to a Ferrari dealership but I’ll never own a Ferrari. And the term affordable…

We’re in an election year. This is nothing more than PR. If the ruling class actually cared about any of us we would have universal healthcare. This is obviously partisan politics.
