(7,321 posts)my 'formal education; is real spotty.. and I never read Marx, however i've picked up enough here and there combined with life experience to get it. And you're right on all points. The problem I'm having on the current dust up of the week is the fact that there is no real dialogue. The BLM tactics may be getting a lot of "attention", but it isn't the sort of attention which will achieve the desired goal.
Case in point: the notion of blocking entrances to Hospital emergency rooms to disallow patients (of every race) who are facing life threatening medical events/conditions requiring immediate medical attention and procedures to save their lives isn't merely and an "inconvenience". My daughter very nearly lost her life due to this action taken on May 30th here in Oakland where the vast majority of the patients are PoC, and mostly AA.!!!
yet discussing that specific strategy here on DU (having nothing at all to do with Bernie Sanders rally or any other candidate) with BLM supporters/members got me a 'sorry you were "inconvenienced" response.
Where does anyone take that ? In all seriousness, I'm at a complete loss where to go from there in terms of "dialogue"..
