No surprise.
Trump thinks Blacks should be chained to boats or picking cotton.
Or cleaning bathrooms.
Just like 1915.
Fuck him.

❝ I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money, like some demonic, destructive suction tube. […] it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor.

am going to keep boosting this thread til y’all start posting new quotes back at me.
and do us all a favor: never, ever say that Dr Martin Luther King Jr DIED.
the fascist fuck Henry Kissinger died in his sleep. Dr. King was ASSASSINATED. so were Medgar Evars, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton.
today should be a day of atonement for white Americans. unfortunately, most don't know the meaning of the word.

"[America] loves him dead because dead men don’t organize. Dead men don’t shut down streets. Dead men don’t boycott, don’t strike, don’t disrupt, and don’t demand redistribution of wealth. Dead men don’t call out Empire and don’t name white supremacy. Dead men don’t link racism to capitalism and militarism in the same damn breath."
A sermon for the ages right here. And most definitely for RIGHT NOW.

“America’s Chief Moral Dilemma”, is called ”The 3 evils speech” when gutted of his re-interpretation of REPARATIONS:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/02/martin-luther-king-hungry-club-forum/552533/
THIS IS THE SPEECH, MLK uses to criticize liberals who edit out his call for a RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC & POLITICAL POWER for not just the Negro but all races.
this was his ultimate goal: to end racism, Americans need to end poverty. to do that, Americans need to end the infinite growth, money making machine of militarism.
#JAN20 #MLKDay
“We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power.”
MLK Jr. believed that racism exists to perpetuate poverty and continue feeding the beast of perpetual capitalistic growth with militarization of everyday life.
THERE IS NO IDENTITY POLITICS TO IGNORE IN THIS EQUATION, all oppressions are violence.
so are you ready to be radicalized on #MLKDay
Martin Luther King Jr. and the Socialist Within https://www.hamptonthink.org/read/martin-luther-king-jr-and-the-socialist-within
there is no question in my mind that MLK Jr was assassinated by the fascists within and outside of the USA government for his second phase of the Civil Rights Movement.
the second phase was:
1. opose the war in Vietnam
2. create public and private-led incentives to end poverty in America based on the principles of non-violence
3. make new non-violent economic models possible worldwide
and that meant spending a few billions then to make it happen…
