I believe in critical mass of black people. You can see it in white flight. One or two black families move into “their” neighborhood and then suddenly they need town covenants to minimize black people living there or they move .

The Irish, Poles, Czechs, Armenians,(insert your non-WASP European ancestry here__) & of course, the Jews wouldn’t escape it either. America would finally become the “little Europe” the people on the ship’s(not the exploitative rules who sent them)allowed them to come here envisioned.

Yeah, I’ve always kind of wondered how small the black and brown population would have to be before those things weren’t seen as “racial.”

I have to correct or at least add something, because this characterization of blacks folks simply being opposed to Bernie-type candidates because they don’t think he can win, or that black folks simply aren’t radical, is only one part of the community.

They should look at what China and Italy and other hard-hit countries have had to do to contain the virus.

Understand that these assholes in Michigan know exactly who Rosa Parks was and what she fought for. They’re angry because they’ve deluded themselves that the virus is only affecting Detroit, which is to say black people, so why should they have to inconvenience themselves? It’s a fuckload of racism driving those…

Moore didn’t say this out of ignorance. He knew it would outrage people and draw more eyeballs to the fake movement they are trying to cook up. They are trying to play everyone.

I vividly remember that watershed moment in the Civil Rights movement.

Do you remember when the entire republican party started a culture war because one woman with no functional brain capacity and no hope of recovery had her feeding tube removed? Now those people are screaming that meemaw’s gotta be sacrificed to reopen Olive Garden.

I'd settle for the impact of hitting those jackasses in the face with a brick.

The 76,440th example of right wing hypocrisy doesn’t quite hit with the impact it should.

Where are the riot police goon squads? The tear gas? The water cannons? I guess those things are only for people that protest against fascism and not for the (very near) future right wing death squads that rally for fascism.

Remember when Rosa Parks waved a Confederate and Nazi flag during the middle of a public health crisis?  Yep, right in the middle of a crowded bus.  And when asked about not giving up her seat, she said something about not being able to get her hair done or buy grass seed, cuz freedom.

Shared from a friend of mine who possesses strong socialist beliefs:

Just ship them to an island and tell them to pull themselves up from their bootstraps.

Don’t forget about the White elite. Those in positions of power and influence really don’t want anyone else to have these things, because it would cut into their profits. They convince folks with less money that a) it’s other people’s fault there’s not enough to trickle down and give them a better standard of living,…

Eh. I’ve stated it many times. The one thing America can’t abide is that it has Black people here. Guaranteed, that if Black people ceased to exist, universal health care would be a thing. Low tuition for college would be a thing. UBI would actually be a thing. Etc. Etc. White Racists and their constituents would…

I was just informed via direct message that, not only is The Root responsible for ending Bernie Sanders’ campaign, but we are also part of the “black elite.”

There’s no shortage of reasons that America SHOULD have universal healthcare, accessible and useful public transportation, equitable funding for schools, infrastructure, childcare, green energy and a host of other pillars of modern society. All of the data points to these things making a far more even playing field…

What has Halper said that makes her so?
