Really appreciated LZ Granderson pointing out that we always say “violence is not the answer” to protesters, but we rarely say it to the State Department or the military-industrial-complex. Bingo.

“So let me ask you this- Why do we need 100 airplanes that drop nuclear bombs? Because if you drop 5 of those it’s over for human civilization as we know it. You drop 10 of those it’s over for humanity. So do you think this has anything to do with our national security?”

Its incredible the orders for 200 policemen are to fire gas canisters and beat thousands of Americans. What are they expecting to happen? The police department got burnt down people.

And @LZGranderson said, our leaders should ask people on the margins not to non-racist, but to be ANTI-racist. To realize our implication in the system, be disgusted by it, and work for change. It is not the job of black America to solve racism. It is our (white folks’) duty.

This topic has been purged from public dialogue for over 20 years. Bush/Cheney trained the nation to accept endless war as a given. Notice how it is not even on the Democratic platform.
