Hillary Clinton pretends socialists-like Bernie Sanders - ignore racism

Hillary thinks race matters more than class    Hillary Clinton insincerely suggests that socialists are slighting the race issue in America in preference for class issues.But racism and capitalist economic inequality are inseparable . There are very many poor working class whites. Very many poor white kids invisible to the news media.
      In general poor people are treated with contempt by the legal system.
      Socialists were fighters against blatant racism in this society 100 years ago.
      Not for nothing many Afro-Americans -long before the collapse of the Soviet Union- were loyal to socialist and communists parties. Read " Black Boy " by Richard Wright.

Was Radical Ron "flying high"? HOUSTON CHRONICLE poster asks . . .

I will post this REPLY to my comment on RACE in America:

" WOW ! this is some of the best writing while on drugs that I've ever seen!!! Very impressive. Let us all just steal things from others who work for them !! It's OK, no problem. Just take what you want when you want it. What an idiot you are !!!! Give up the crack man. It's wearing on you !! "

YouTube link: Jack Kerouac reads "On The Road"

NOTE : The comment that aroused this gentleman's wrath will next be published on my blog.  I do believe in an end to the war on drugs but I myself am rather conservative in their use. To be sure, they are no obstacle to great art. I  recall that the Beat writer, Jack Kerouac, wrote his classic "On the Road" while completely stoned on "speed", similar to "crack", I think. But it was alcohol that did poor old Jack in at age 47. I am now 67- a rather sober non-smoker too.

WATCHING AMERICA - Race in America

As a citizen of the United States, I am all ears to even "part of the solution" to the tragedy of race relations in America.  But as a democratic Socialist I can only chuckle at "improving the faith in the black community in the country's institutions."

To be sure, the courts and the police are completely subservient to our ONE PERCENT plutocracy. The police– with all due RESPECT– are correctly perceived to be the human pit bulls of PRIVATE PROPERTY. Young blacks-invariably POOR BLACKS–involved in the most petty crimes against property- set themselves up for ON THE SPOT execution by armed cops "just doing our job."

Only greater social and economic equality can deliver better justice here-even for tens of millions of poor working class white Americans.

As the black firebrand revolutionary Malcolm X said long ago: "Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker!"

But I expect the Neo-Democrat Party to continue to racialize POVERTY IN AMERICA. Isn't a 21st century New Deal preferable to bloody disorder?
