“Bernie Sanders says he would not support reparations for African-Americans as president. ‘Its likelihood of getting through Congress is nil,’ he told Fusion in an interview. ‘Second of all, I think it would be very divisive.'”
Wait?!? Bernie thinks reparations are divisive but not global white supremacy (racism)?!?
I think Bernie by far is the best candidate to become the next President of the United States [due to the fact that majority of the candidates are pretty horrible], but his answer to this question — based on his knowledge of America’s history of white racism — shows that he’s not really serious about eradicating global white/”Jewish” supremacy and America’s racial caste system.
Basically, this means that no matter who is elected president this year, white racism is only going to worsen since the white elite and those in positions of power will continue to ignore the realities and effects of institutionalized white racism on people of African descent. Smdh.
Black people better wake up! You don’t have much time left!
P. Kevin Castel is presently the Chair of the Grievance Committee of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York – the committee handling lawyer discipline – but what does this impartial, non-racist and non-corrupt federal judge do when a pyramid of evidence detailing one of the most egregious crimes against humanity has been unveiled and brought to his attention? Absolutely nothing.
“discrimination-as-corruption”
What, if anything, is wrong with getting a good job – or getting into an excellent kindergarten – through family connections or a good word put in by a friend? Like the doctor who exemplifies Lessig’s “dependence corruption,” opportunity-hoarders are ordinary. The freedom or latitude to help and be helped by one’s friends and family is an obvious good. For anyone with family members or friends, one might even say that hoarding opportunities for your loved ones is simply what every person aspires to do as a loyal friend or family member. In Lessig’s account of dependence corruption, the ordinariness and lack of evil in individual actors does not preclude the conclusion that the conduct is corrupt and therefore in need of rooting out. What matters the most is the aggregate effect of the conduct on the stated goals of the institution. Similarly, a discrimination-as-corruption framework would regard ordinary non-evil practices as discriminatory if they had the effect of significantly undermining the conditions of equality necessary for democratic institutions to govern legitimately in the public interest.
