2,500 Years of Class Hatred
Reid Ross, Alexander
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/04/13/2500-years-of-class-hatred/Date Written: 2016-04-13 Publisher: CounterPunch Year Published: 2016 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX19221 Class struggle never existed without hatred of the poor. And neither has racism. Boots Riley's recent article, posted in The Guardian, systematically dispels the myth of black-on-black crime advocated by Bill Clinton. Rather than pointing the image of failure at black people in the US, Riley insists, the mirror should be redirected to class war and the failure of liberal democracy. The condition of black people will advance with economic prosperity, not punitive drug laws. Subject Headings |
