Why We Can't Breathe
http://www.solidarity-us.org/site/node/4320Date Written: 2015-01-01 Publisher: Against the Current Year Published: 2015 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX20852 On police racism and violence against blacks. Abstract: - Excerpt: "We Can't Breathe" is certainly about murderous police violence, but also so much more -- the entire matrix of structural racism in the United States economy and its gerrymandered, voter-suppressing political system. That's why the dying gasps of Eric Garner have become the banner of a new civil and human rights uprising, perhaps even more dramatically than "We Are the 99%" drove the Occupy movement’s spirit of protest against the financial gangsters. |
