Misguided " Black Lives Matter " chanters disrupt Bernie Sanders rally

Cop murders and class rule in America
    All the experience of my life agrees with this perspective on the role of the police in the America of decaying capitalism. I find it increasingly annoying that " liberals " prefer to view these seemingly senseless cop murders as a race issue-public relations problem for the police. The " crime " -if any- is usually some minor breaking of the law- a " crime " against sacrosanct private property.Protecting capitalist property- with " armed men "-is what the state is all about. Does it take a radical social genius( a Lenin ? ) to see this simple truth ?
I am well aware of the dubious nature of Bernie Sander's " socialism ". But it was sickening to see Sanders-of all candidates - disrupted by very misguided " Black Lives Matter ! " chanters. Are these people aware that both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were very cynical about capitalism ? The Civil Rights Movement was started by socialists and " communists ".
My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ".
Those are the words that should honor the memory of Malcolm X on the facade of the University of Rhode Island Library. For years there has been a truncated NAMELESS Malcolm X quote inscribed on the front of the building : it is about some guy's passion for books and libraries.
True, you can learn a lot about the evils of capitalism in America's public libraries.
