In Providence a black police major will not " fix " racism

Demand for a black police major
   As a democratic Socialist and a student of American history-with vivid memories of the 60s Civil Rights Movement-it is clear to me that this historic movement succeeded in eliminating INSTITUTIONALIZED racism in the United States. Is it the business of the State to punish non-criminal manifestations of racism in the individual ? Endless war on racism will not eliminate social inequality. In Rhode Island, for example, the cry for a black major in the Providence Police Dept. will only please the black bourgeoisie - and then only for the present.
The black community here should start thinking in terms of CLASS- and acting in solidarity with ALL oppressed and exploited working class people.
Listen to that " socialist " Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont on the race problem.
A black police major will also serve the ruling class
