I despised "by any means necessary" DWS, but I still voted for Hillary; yet, every day of my life I can see how blacks must demand liberals in general, and whites in particular in this party, stop the nicey-nicey bullshit crap lip service -- that two-faced bullshit from the Bill Clinton days, well documented in The New Jim Crow -- and actually step up to specifically remedy patterns of racial discrimination on blacks' advancement. The law all the way up to the Supreme Court has settled that it's now up to The People to solve black people's problems, however that goes.
Why should black kids get criminalized about their appearance in public schools. Why should a president's fist bump be announced as "terrorist." Why should stop and frisk be the m.o. of police. Why should "mistaken" SWATS and highway stop deaths be endured with no cost to stupid-at-best uniformed "guards" of whatever.
Seriously.
Blacks in America are subject to official state terrorism. Yeah, I said it.
I hate the criminalized state of 20% of Americans way more than the uncomfortable gun stand of this well known, well respected member of the black celebrity class.
You don't like it? Fine. I don't care how outraged you are about Mike's position. My position is that the rest of us have to support however blacks want to stop their criminalization. Extreme times for blacks (which seem to come and go with high regularity) call for their extreme readiness.
You can call Killer Mike every damned name in the book, hate him all you want, but his right to life, liberty and justice (for all) are the spirit of his message on Bill Maher, however you want to exclude him with your democratic purity.
