If youre interested in joining a conversation well worth having, you might start here. Comparing Jim Crow to the corporatization of the penal system and systematic categorization, castration and demonization of the black community is actually overly simplified. At least she ends with encouraging this country to address this as a human rights problem and not just a racial one. The unfortunate truth is that the black or colored community has born the tragic brunt of this caste systems initial phase of implementation because the power families knew that by employing racial divides, the richer communities would condone it. I found it unfortunate that she pulled the rich republican whitey card without addressing the untold and far reaching destruction the liberal agenda has had on the black and therefore human and therefore our communities. We are being gutted from every angle. Morally, constitutionally, spiritually, economically, legally and in most any other way imaginable. Why do you suppose this is? We had an experiment which was foretold to last but a short time and the power families have been after this territory ever since. Dont get it Fd up. I understand the self imposed hamstringing. We had a lot to learn and we owed a lot of apologies but we had a real chance to make this the longest running republic with a very real chance at working it out. The turn of the last century introduced an interesting twist on realities. A republican and recognized civil rights hero, Abraham Lincoln warned of the coming financial institutions which would undermine this flag of ours one seam at a time. Those institutions would be riding the skirts of the democrats and so they were. Simply follow the money or more importantly, its lenders! Now look at who was in office during these horridly prophetic actions. This all sort of returns me to my usual point which is that all of this finger pointing is working out beautifully for whatever political party is masquerading as yours for the quadrennial. Each administration bolsters the lasts draconian shedding of our constitution in the name of whatever aint the other guys wishes. Meanwhile, brick by brick, we have been building the prisons in which our youth (OUR YOUTH) are living. Its much much bigger than this but my thumbs are getting tired. Best way to fell a giant..The eyes..Ever so slowly, so slowly so as not to be noticed. We have been flattened and I dont see a way out but like she said the folks on the Underground Railroad probably saw abolition as an unattainable future as well. Cheers and good luck to the next few generations. Youre gonna need it. youtu.be/Gln1JwDUI64
