If we fix that problem most black people will still have crummy lives because the poor are discriminated against on every account. A person without money can’t sit in the white section or the colored section of the restaurant or the bus or have an apartment or see the doctor or go to any kind of sports or entertainment event or go to college and on and on
but we’d rather scapegoat cops who make what 35-45 thousand a year? Instead of targeting the people who hoard the wealth - who profit off debt and the cycle of incarceration and uneducated masses
How many banks were burnt down?
The houses of CEOs and billionaires?
Members of Congress? Members of the Trump administration?
Let’s say we defund the police. Corporations and organizations of property owners are just going to hire private security that won’t answer to anyone because the police departments are dismantled.
The myth that America can be reformed marches on. And don’t forget to vote!
^^ This. What happens when income disparities and inequality reach critical levels ?
Civil unrest. It's happening.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
