In 2016 the Russia influenced the election in 3 ways:
1) Attempted to hack the online voting systems
2) Cyber-attack on DNC
3) Systematic social media disinformation campaign targeted at US citizens to exert political influence and exacerbate social divisions in US culture.

Apparently shopping is now voting and #reparations means buying wholesale. The inability of this writer to even use the word #capitalism says everything about their politics. New rule: anyone writing a #BuyBlack article must interview @ndbconnolly and @MehrsaBaradaran FIRST.
While this thing is filled with cringeworthy quotes my favorite is maybe "Buying black has been at the center of the fight for civil rights since Reconstruction." LOL!
Not a word about Black co-ops, labor conditions, or organizing to end racial capitalism. Just an extended commercial for 'entrepreneurialism' and consumer culture. Say it together: You can't buy your way to revolution (or even survival).
