Ralph Poynter What's Happening, August 4, 2015, Anatomy of Oppression VI

ANATOMY OF OPPRESSION – PART VI - We supposedly have the inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but Black and Brown people live now and have always lived under and around arbitrary authority that is white authority. Control of education is an integral part of democratic organization - a very natural and obvious structure. Community Control of police is against the organization of government control from the top down. Jim Crow is not dead but alive and well and growing by the minute. The question for our next broadcast is...Do we have the emotional capacity to deal with this reality?

This week we will examine the 2016 election campaign. Hilary Clinton Democrats think they can run without the Left.  They feel we are so afraid of Donald Trump that we will vote for anybody to avoid the New Nazis.  But we won’t.  We have our own agendas.  Free all Political Prisoners. Convict Killer Cops, etc.  However, if we do indeed have an agenda…then it’s time to WALK THE TALK. ~ Ralph Poynter

Hear a special discussion led by Dick Minnerly and the radio panelists (Larry Pinkney, Lynne Stewart, Joel Meyers and Ralph Poynter) concerning “…. most people in the world today agree that the best form of government is a democracy.  But what that term means to them is not always clear, since it has two conflicting senses.  It can mean the fundamental principles of proper government that were stated by leftist thinkers before that revolution, or it can mean the type of electoral government that elitists, or selfish rightists, established after it.  The term has been dichotomous in this way ever since that revolution because, as our dictionaries show, it refers to both a leftist and a rightist view.”
