Hot Topic:The unfortunate truths of black progress when does Black Lives Matter?

Advocates for racial justice, such as police reform (or reparations), must accept that democratic factions, as James Madison once noted, tend to weaponize their ballots and voices to defend and enlarge their own empires. True, not all whites align in the same faction. Many whites, moreover, have bared arms in the war on white supremacy. In the aggregate, though, this thesis educates us on how America operates. Strategies forged in light of this out-class those ignoring it. And the tale of how slaves secured freedom must guide all racial activists, including those in Black Lives Matter.BY BRANDO SIMEO STARKEY@BRANDOSTARKEY
