(751 posts)Police violence is real against the black community. Overall criminal system is systematically against people of color. This has being an issue for past 80+ years. It is not going to change overnight but spotlight needs to be addressed on it when we have public incidents.
In America the police is used to protect richer communities against the poor. Who are the poor? The vast majority are minorities. Why are minorities poor? Because of lack of jobs/opportunities. One way to break this vicious cycle (in addition to reforming criminal system) is to provide jobs and opportunities. Jobs and income will solve much more problems in the black community than ANYTHING else. Everything else is just trimming on the edges.
Bernie is provides the best messaging on Jobs.
