White poverty vs. black poverty "

Brown Daily Herald reports anti-Semitic activity on the campus
  No democratic socialist would find white poverty more acceptable if it were at the same statistical percentage as black and Latino poverty.

     Unless you think the Civil Rights Movement of the Martin Luther King era was a failed movement, you will not attribute black poverty to institutionalized racism.

   The explanation for black poverty is the same as the explanation for white poverty: poverty in general is perpetuated by the capitalist system.


   What can oh- so -politically correct , pro-Wall St., Hillary Clinton do for her black supporters that Bernie Sanders' " democratic socialism " cannot do even more quickly ?


   Does belief in the magic of Hillary overwhelm any belief in a more rational , more just economic system ?

   Hillary is ironically both the Queen of the Status Quo and the favorite of the black bourgeoisie. Young black working class individuals are beginning to " feel the Bern ".

     Since Providence is so much like Detroit, I expect Sanders to do very well here in the Rhode Island Democratic Primary. And Sanders - with his " socialist Jew " background- is probably now already very popular on the East Side of Providence.

   The black astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson has recently endorsed " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders.

   The best way to fight anti-Semitism is with real " progressive " ideas- not with stale " identity politics " of neo-liberalism.

   This is the year of the anti-establishment voter. We need a change !
