Farmbrook's JournalThank you Thom Hartman for your perspective on the Marissa Johnson diatribe
In paraphrasing Mr. Hartman in the final minutes of his show today he responded to a caller on the issue saying that after 400 years of oppression the least blacks can do is to disrupt a campaign. He is worried that BS supporters are concentrating on Ms. Johnson's Palin campaign button and other conspiracies such as she is a plant from the Hillary Campaign and disparaging her. Thom went on to say those responses are coming from mostly white people who do not get it. I was tearful. For one thing he stated that he gets it even as a strong Bernie support which I am also as a black person. Thank you Thom. I highly respect his perspectives and education on a lot of issues. Go Bernie, #blacklivesmatter.
The problem of Detroit is engineered, systematic and deliberate by the Republican Admin.
I live just outside of Detroit MI, and used to live in Detroit for almost ten years. I work in downtown Detroit. The Republican administration has their dirty hands all over this situation. They came in with an agenda for jobs and they are yet to put forth a legislation for one. Instead they gave huge tax breaks to corporations, stopped revenue-sharing to cities and municipalities, closed the schools, flooded the city with lax gun-laws and spent millions of dollars going after Kilpartrick because he was the obstacle to their devious plans. Approximately 70% of the corporations in downtown Detroit don't pay taxes including (the stadiums, Compuware Corporation, and Quicken Loans) and yet they continue to use the city services freely. They have been trying to privatize the income-generating facilities like the Water Department and to sell off one of the gems of the City - Belle Isle.
Furthermore, they want to take away the peoples pensions and the only way they can do it is that they declare bankruptcy. In fact five minutes before they did so they promised the pensioners not to worry and that they will work it out with them and the Snyder Administration turned around and ran to another court to file bankruptcy. These people are evil. Thank God the judge saw through them and ruled against them. Snyder used to head Gateway corporation before he ran for governor. In that time he ran Gateway to bankruptcy and then moved most of the jobs overseas. About 60% of the people that work in downtown everyday are non-black and if it was so dangerous they would not be there. SHOCK DOCTRINE! anyone?
