  It’s on the people to break free of their chains and revolt, but they have to stop blaming each other first, and stop misidentifying symptoms as causes.

    On that we agree.

      Right on. Being able to bridge those gaps is gonna make or break the future for the working class. If we have too many purity test barriers, we won’t ever be able to truly unify. Fred Hampton was a great voice when it came to reminding folks of this. The left can constantly lambast “libs” but the reality is that a lot of folks are getting educated and are willing to talk. Deterring them with gated communities and tests will only deter them. At the end of the day, we’re all on the same side.

        Fred Hampton

        en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton

        Hampton was drugged, then shot and killed in his bed during a predawn raid at his Chicago apartment by a tactical unit

        I must admit I don’t know who he is, but that is an excellent example of my claim that American society is sick.
        A normal police of a civilized country would never do something like that.

        I don’t know much about black panthers, but AFAIK they started out as a group protecting black people that were harassed by white people, and whites still practiced segregation in 1969 AFAIK despite it was illegal at the time. The racial hatred was insane! Or maybe it wasn’t decidedly hatred, but a sense of entitlement among whites, and they hated when people of color tried to change that.

        As someone who lives in Denmark, this is not something we have any focus on, except possibly an anecdotal story in history class in school.

        Anyways people need to learn to pull together on improvements that respect human rights.
