There's something for everyone to read in this. Especially the smugtards that insist that critical race theory isn't being taught in schools.
This is the sad truth:
Both parties have failed Black Americans.
It's time for Black Americans to realize that their skin color is not a barrier to their progress. More importantly, they must begin to force both the Democrats as well as Republicans to earn their support.

We will keep lecturing you on this, indoctrinating you with cartoon classroom videos and assigning homework until you submit to the education.
Why is it not being mentioned much?
Both parties have failed Black Americans.
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.”
Just months after the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, it is worth remembering that King explicitly denounced Communism.
“During the Christmas holidays of 1949 I decided to spend my spare time reading Karl Marx to try to understand the appeal of communism for many people. For the first time I carefully scrutinized Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto,” he wrote. “I also read some interpretative works on the thinking of Marx and Lenin. In reading such Communist writings I drew certain conclusions that have remained with me as convictions to this day.”
Then King listed the three reasons he could never accept Marxism.
“First, I rejected their materialistic interpretation of history. Communism, avowedly secularistic and materialistic, has no place for God,” he wrote.
Marx’s theory of “dialectical materialism” (and the conjoined theory of “historical materialism”) instead envisioned the human race as a one-dimensional economic creature.
“Second, I strongly disagreed with communism’s ethical relativism. Since for the Communist there is no divine government, no absolute moral order, there are no fixed, immutable principles; consequently almost anything – force, violence murder, lying – is a justifiable means to the ‘millennial’ end,” he wrote.
The second point, closely related to the first, recognizes that anyone who rejects transcendence and revelation must, by extension, deny any universally binding morality. The world then becomes a patchwork of competing moralities, begging the strong to impose their will upon the weak. King consistently disowned those who spoke of prevailing in their political cause “by any means necessary.”
“Third, I opposed communism’s political totalitarianism. In communism, the individual ends up in subjection to the state. … And if man’s so-called rights and liberties stand in the way of that end, they are simply swept aside,” King wrote. “His liberties of expression, his freedom to vote, his freedom to listen to what news he likes or to choose his books are all restricted.”
“Man becomes hardly more, in communism, than a depersonalized cog in the turning wheel of the state,” King concluded.
I also let him speak for himself.
I find it hard to believe that workers owning the means of production goes against Christianity but his fear of secularism is predictable. Plenty of room for Christians in my utopia.
Since were letting the dead speak for themselves.
Utopia is dumb. If you have a real policy or solution, I would like to hear it. How do you feel about progressive policies in cities in America? There is a distinct lack of policy analysis. What would happen if we just let people shoplift and steal things? What will happen if we just ditch advanced math classes or get rid of tests and promote people based on their skin color? I'm interested in making things better, for sure. But I don't see anything good coming from woke white people with zero practical experience and who are not willing to have their ideas challenged.
He's afraid he can't provide the life for himself that he wants and/or grew up with. That's Young American Socialism in a nutshell.
