Political Awareness Matters: How Black Lives Matter Are Screwing Themselves -- And the Rest of Us

[Joe Chi Minh]

76. Yes. I realise that, but I think Bernie would be by far the least compromised

candidate, and as concerned as the best of the other candidates to 'knock on the head' the murderous free-for-all many racist police forces now engage in on a daily basis.

I love the Clintons from the days when they were 'under the blackjack' of the decidedly unstellar Kenneth Starr, but it seems to me that Hillary would be compromised on many level by her and Bill's close association with certain Republicans and large corporations.

As regards Obama, I think being an African American President has energized the racists, which in turn has made it more difficult for him to tackle the racism in the country, most importantly of course in the police forces and judicial system. Though I believe I have read of initiatives he or his latest Attorney General 's have taken in the matter.

But as you say, it is insane the authority to murder with impunity an innocent citizen, which a single racist policeman is free to exercise, in many places across the US. Well, certainly the South. It's just that that doesn't change the number or scale of optimal options available for tackling the matter. Patience under such an ongoing daily threat can only be desperately hard to maintain. I certainly understand that.
