    “The strike continues a decades-old labor rights movement tradition. Most notably, organizers have drawn inspiration from the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike over low wages, benefits disparity between Black and white employees, and inhumane working conditions that contributed to the deaths of two Black workers in 1968. At the end of that two-month strike, some 1,300 mostly Black sanitation workers bargained collectively for better wages.”

    The Democrats have replaced their old KKK militia with antifa (rich white Democrats) and BLM--a segregated Democrat militia.

    Most of these people are just allowing themselves to be used to the nth degree. They haven't a clue.

    I have been thinking the same thing. This is exactly like having the KKK back just with a different racial identity.

    What is really happening? The people that own the black struggles movement are not interested in solving urban black issues at all. This is tragic. There is a problem in black America and it is the fault of white men, democrat men. But they’ve taken control of the narrative by giving millions in cash to uneducated and superstitious blacks that can’t see clearly enough to recognize how devious the party of white leftists are. Even some blacks in CHOP ended up beating white lefty’s as well as segregating them away. These were the non educated street smart blacks that saw or began to see the lack of authenticity of these white antifa “helpers.” The ones who are educated received the money which was enough to turn their once high ideals towards personal gain and power much like the democratic black caucus, total corruption.

    Lost in all of this is the idea that a black QB named Michael Vick was sentenced to prison when if it were a white player, there’s a high probability that he would get a lessor sentence. If there’s a need for fairness in black America, I’m willing to listen to the facts concerning prison sentences by comparison. All that said, nothing will help until the black American man asks Americans to save black Americans from themselves.
