This is why I've never understood how there's a separation between Bernie's economic justice policy and the fight for social justice.
It was Martin Luther King who summed this up when he said this is why he started his Poor People's Campaign:
"The VietNam War is about sending poor White children and poor Black children and poor Brown children to go kill poor Yellow children".
CHARLES BARKLEY: ALL POLITICS IS RICH PEOPLE SCREWING POOR PEOPLE
He didn't mince his words.
From the Guardian reported on Raw Story today:
NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley gave his two cents on the presidential race on Tuesday by saying all politics is rich people screwing poor people and that poor people are too stupid to know theyre just chess pieces in a game.
Barkley said he wasnt exactly thrilled by the Democratic party Ive always voted Democratic. Always. I dont know why. Im trying to figure out exactly what theyve done for us but he saved most of his ire for the Republican party, claiming that the party was exploiting ordinary Americans fears about race and immigration and doing a great job of it.
The Republicans always do a good job of dividing and conquering. They do a really good job of making black folks, poor white folks and Hispanics not like each other. Everybody wants to talk about black and white, when the situation is really about rich people against poor people.
