Is in full effect today. Check your racial privilege for a few seconds, white people. Protests happens when the unheard go ignored for too long, and that applies to all political parties. Also, check your Republican talking points. Of course all lives matter, but using that as a response to the protest 'black lives matter' is marginalizing both the message and messenger.
#blacklivesmatterfor a country that was supposed to have been about religious freedom somebody got it awfully wrong every since the arrival they have taken advantage of the indigenous Indians they bought slaves here to do their bidding and used their backs to build giving credence to "they did not build it themselves" they took credit for everything they consumed, wrote history that mirrored that myth created a one class system them anyone else was either 3/5ths a human or savages even though savage acts were being perpetrated on them.
America is where it is because those who would oppose everyone and thing not consistent with their march to Goddom made it so. i learned a term yesterday that fit the definition of the road taken to today it is "INSTITUTIONAL RACISM" established way back around the time of those founding guys and cultivated and nurtured through the centuries by those who learned as G W Bush said, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on" those would be the politicians and republican base they carry the water those who are the elite of the opposer's billionaires bidding to own this country and continue their march to control, are the architects.
but if they get there who's the boss and the next episode of "the American oligarchy the dark days of internal power struggle" will begin. you don't have billions and want to be the ones that follow they have a image to uphold as despicable as it might be.
as to Black lives mattering yeah because they are the means to the end for the America we see now that see's us as rising up in places before that had invisible signs but were know to be "White only", they know they will soon be the minority and all the fear of retribution that brings. as they used us before they are still in need of someone to use, the Hispanics are willing but are being openly demeaned does that make them their new slaves or does that not qualify because they get paid more than nothing a day and get to go home????
