A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Um… I’ve got news for reliably racist Glenn Beck: government working hard to prevent economic collapse and create a more energy-efficient, less polluting America does not equal slavery. It’s clearly fear of a black president — since when did you hear someone cavalierly express fear that the American government was going to enslave them, for real?
Not till Obama. Glenn, in case you didn’t get this in whatever pathetically narrow education you received, slavery is when someone legally owns you and forces you to work for no compensation against your will. Nothing you suggest even comes close to that and is in fact, insulting to African-Americans who are the descendants of actual, official slaves. Please, please, please: STFU.
thanks to Media Matters for sharing. The clip from you guessed it – Fox News — is above. Ugh.
