I find it interesting and instructive that right wing " Red Eye Radio " accuses Colin Kaepernick of being a " Marxist ". From the perspective of the far right anybody to the Left of Rush Limbaugh is an old fashioned " fellow traveler " -even a quarter of a century after the collapse of the Stalinist Soviet Union.
But true enough, both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X had a negative view of American capitalism. Way back in 1965 Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and US imperialism.
My favorite Black Muslim Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker ". Why is not that quote inscribed on the wall of the URI library ? " Malcolm X " - the name - has been deleted from the quote about " loving books " that is there.
Let some black URI athletes protest that racial slight .
