Each page of Baraka’s blog opens with a very appropriate bell hooks quote describing itself as a “site of radical possibility, a space of resistance.” Baraka resists and he does so radically on a number of topics, including:

On Muhammad Ali, Dylan Roof, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton:

Baraka wrote.”The announcement that Bill Clinton, the rapist and petty opportunist politician, had been chosen to deliver the eulogy at Ali’s funeral suggests that his family is heading down that same path.” MORE..

On Bernie Sanders and his supporters:

Sanders’ campaign, Baraka wrote, was less concerned about actual political reform and more interested in a tacit “commitment to Eurocentrism and normalized white supremacy.”

Sanders supporters, Baraka explains, are basically just naive shills. MORE...

On Beyoncé, “Formation,” and black pop culture commentary:

“I cannot for the life of me understand how Beyonce’s commodified caricature of black opposition was in any way progressive,” Baraka said. “I didn’t see opposition; I saw the imagery and symbols of authentic black radicalism grotesquely transformed into a de-politicized spectacle by gyrating, light-skinned booty-short-clad sisters.”

Oh ya, please read post # 37 if you need any further proof that Stein's ad is one nasty Lie after the next.
She needs to be called out on the nightmare she chose as VP.
Anyone can write a slick TV ad.
Buyer beware
