probably here at DU in this jungle of words somewhere. But just for the hell of it, I want to remind all those socialists here that money equality, one of your main arguments for getting on board the democratic-socialist bandwagon and finally ending the scrouge of white hate and racism, does not change the fact that racism continually used by white people and their surrogates from all races and cultures, is the elephant in the room.

Having a lot of money doesn't mean jack shit if the one having money is a possessor of black skin. This fact is of the matter is, it's white skin VS black skin. ALWAYS has been in amerika. It's who wants to be perceived as the massa and who massa wants to deem a slave in their white supremacy fantasy land. Who's the perceived threat when seen in the streets or in their own home. I am of the rapidly evolving conclusion that all the words, money, ideology WILL NOT STOP hate filled white people from wanting their great white Amerika a reality again, with great being the operative word here, of which Amerika never ever has been, for AA especially.

I guess I should start watching the trumpers across the street, to the left of me, to the right of me and behind me...

1. Exactly.

A $15/hour minimum wage is a worthy goal, but not of much value if you are pulled over for a broken tail light or whatever excuse and shot or incarcerated before you can even get to that job. As your linked article demonstrates, having wealth and a degree of fame is no protection when one's skin is black; poor black people don't even have a chance of being recognized before the situation escalates.
