As a democratic Socialist I believe that the glorious Civil Rights Movement of the 60s just about ended INSTITUTIONALIZED racism in this country. What remains is completely entangled with CLASS inequality and oppression. Can the capitalist state be expected to punish non-criminal cases of individual racism ? It would be morally grotesque for this Death Penalty Nation, this war loving, imperialist nation, this nation of the ONE PERCENT greedy plutocracy , to insist that we all just LOVE one another .
This endless war on racism is not designed to end social and economic inequality. Just ask that " socialist " Democrat , Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont . Or re-read the speeches of Malcolm X. I recommend " The Ballot or the Bullet ".
And voting for right-wing Republican Dr. Ben Carson will not improve the race problem in America. Even though Dr. Ben always asks himself : " What would Jesus do ? "
