With all the uproar going on recently about Black men being shot by police, it's easy to forget it just 'ain't' Blacks alone.
According to the Washington Post of July 22, 533 people have been shot and killed by police in the U.S. this year. More than half were armed with a gun, and only a quarter killed by police were Black. What makes the police seem so racist is that some of the shootings were videotaped and uploaded to the internet.
Anyone can clearly see that, though capitalism will not collapse economically, the horrendous pressures this misery-inducing system puts on people will inevitably cause tremendous unrest resulting in riots all over the place.
The Blacks who are protesting and the cops they hate have one thing in common: they are both members of the working class, and like other workers are subject to the same pressures of poverty, insecurity, and crime capitalism creates.
It's time to stop rioting and to work harmoniously, Black, White, Red, and Yellow, together to have done with a system that causes such division, pressure, and hate.
John Ayers.
