I commend this athlete's social conscience . War fever patriotism is
the false religion of U.S. militarists. Hillary Clinton's speech before
the American Legion shows her to be even more a threat to world peace
than Republican Donald Trump.
Sad to say the athlete is mistaken in his " attitude " that police brutality is caused by racism. " Structural racism " is not significant in America.Was the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s a failure ? Today an Afro-American president is in the White House.
Class oppression -not white racism - is the best explanation for police behavior toward " disorderly " black persons.In the last year of his life Black Muslim Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism ( " The Speeches of Malcolm X " , George Breitman ).
" Identity politics " today has very pernicious consequences.
