I am really stunned that people find it so hard to believe that the Democrats have resorted to the tactics they're using to keep us off of ballots in more than one state. They've done this before. They expect us to roll over and smear us when we won't. It's bullying.
The focus on "looting" by the mainstream media shows exactly where the power structure's concerns lie. Our lives mean nothing to them, but property- now, that's something different.
It is going to take the most monumental uprooting of capitalism to heal what has been and continues to be done to Black people in and by this country. The devaluation of Black life has deep, rotten roots here.
And it's possible. But y'all, we cannot continue to apply topical reforms to a deep and putrefying wound and think we are going to be okay.
