      Would " Black Lives Matter " -as a political movement - fade away if  they never hear the N-word again, , if cops are visibly more courteous to black suspects in custody or caught in a chase , if all offending historic monuments were demolished with " progressive " crowds cheering ?
                How about a permanent AFFIRMATIVE ACTION program for under-employed and un-employed black citizens ? And reparations ?   And leave white working class people out in the coming Great Depression ?
              In a published interview famous American playwright Arthur Miller ( creator of " Willie Loman in ' Death of a Salesman "  ) said that CLASS oppression was the basis of racism. Miller grew up in Harlem.
                 Black Muslim Malcolm X said : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ".  Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism. So did Martin Luther King  who wrote to his wife in 1953 that he was leaning toward some form of Christian Socialism .
                   Can " liberal " Democrats find some way to UP-CLASS  working class black people ?     Do they have a plan to ABOLISH American capitalism , American militarism ?
                    ALL working class Americans have a lot in common . We have all been endlessly patient in enduring capitalist exploitation and oppression.  We deserve more than " socialist " charlatan Bernie Sanders. We need an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but more militant .
