Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

America rarely lets you forget that you're Black
So I had myself an epiphany.
Actually, that’s not quite the right word. An epiphany is a moment of sudden clarity, but mine rolled in slowly, like dawn on a crystal morning.
I’m not sure when it began. Maybe it was in 2012 when Trayvon Martin was killed and much of America held him guilty of his own murder. Maybe it was in 2013 when the Voting Rights Act was eviscerated and states began hatching schemes to suppress the African-American vote. Maybe it was on Election Day. Maybe it was a few weeks later, when a South Carolina jury deadlocked because the panel — most of them white — could not agree that it was a crime for a police officer to shoot an unarmed black man in the back. Could not agree, even though they saw it on video.
I can’t say exactly when it was. All I know is that the dawn broke and I realized I had forgotten something.
I had forgotten that I am black.

While individual persons of color may well discriminate against a white person or another person of color because of their race, this does not qualify as racism according to our definition because that person of color cannot depend upon all the institutions of society to enforce or extend his or her personal dislike.

I knew a lot of people you would like to have known. I debated Hosea Williams on tv several times - matter of fact, his show got cancelled because he challenged me to come on his show and it didn't pan out for him. His audience booed him!
There is a book that sets the standard for understanding the slavery issue. Here is a link to Wikipedia's summary of the information:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_on_the_Cross
It is a good starting point for this discussion. So, if you'd like an in depth debate, we can do that. If, however, you want to review some of the materials I use, we can continue this here.
