White screaming drowns out black voices at protests

[daredtowork]

45. City Council Meeting last night quoted 2%

UC Berkeley 2% black, and the city of Berkeley itself has been depleted of black population from 30% to 10% in recent years (they didn't specify how many years, but I think it's been within the last 25 because I've witnessed it). I tried to say something about this at the Council Meeting because I believe the economic policies - particularly the housing policies -of the Mayor - have unequally affected the black population: and it also seems to indicate the black population was poorer and was driven out.

And now that they are gone, Berkeley isn't a "white utopia". We still have the same amount of poor people - they are just white. So of course Berkeley's civil unrest is going to look more white. And of course more white people are going to have unpleasant contacts with authoritarian police: because in lieu of social services and help with poverty, this society sends police to the door to deal with unruly people, to evict people, to intervene when people are trying to escape via suicide, to stop people from creating a ruckus about their conditions, to discourage people from taking drugs and drinking alcohol. Berkeley can be 99% white, and those will be white problems now. Deporting the black population did not work for Mayor Tom Bates.

I do not support overthrowing the mayor, but I sure as hell support him resigning. In shame. ASAP.
