Today, ESPN’s Dan Le Batard invited Bomani Jones onto his radio show, where Jones addressed the McDonald killing. He didn’t hold back.

“At some point we have to raise the question of whether or not police killing black people like this is not accidental,” Jones said, “and this is kind of built into the equation, built into the design.”

He went on to explain the phenomenon of people suddenly conjuring concern about black-on-black crime after police killings are publicized, including blacks who cling to respectability politics, before smacking down anyone who would attempt to explain this unjustifiable murder as anything but.



The video is great. Bomani Jones is amazing

3. As we used to say back in the day "The Man" is the problem. It makes no

difference if The Man is white, black, yellow or purple anymore. The Man is all about power and how much he can get, who he has to put down does not matter in the least.

4. This problem has been nurtured by the corporate run Establishment.

Those that don't care to stop it will be voting for more of the same status quo. How blind can some be not to understand that this is a product of the 1% domination of our government?

Those that want to see an end to this are voting for change from the 1% domination.

5. America today does one thing well...

...imprison black men. And the gunning down is built into the design.

8. We live in a white supremacist culture

The Entrenched Establishment that is allowing this shit to go on, needs to go.
