No ending systemic racism without ending entrenched economic injustice that keeps it in place. All the "I've looked into my heart to examine my privilege" in the world isn't a substitute for political action. If you owe me money I appreciate an apology - but I also want my $ back

There is also no ending systematic racism without ending the lie that we live in an epidemic of racially biased police shootings.

What do you call an established pattern of execution of unarmed black man? Just a bunch of unfortunate coincidences...?

Doesn't it seem that systemic racism is *in service of* economic injustice? We want to plunder others. Racism allows us to justify the plunder. Look at American history, it is everywhere. Texas Rangers hated my ancestors so they could steal our land.

It is one tree of injustice that Europeans planted since the era of Mercantilism. Uproot the tree and everything will fall into place.

No apologies and no reparations. I didn't own slaves and you never were enslaved. No Bread of Shame.

This kind of post is what keeps hate it in our minds. When was the last time you actually talked with a black American? Being married into a black family my experience is they don’t want this narrative to continue Its an old mirror and old thinking
