Vice's Toure: '€˜We' as Black People Struggle With White Supremacy
2016-05-08
[Breitbart] Saturday on MSNBC, Vice magazine columnist Toure explained how Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ message on class does not resonate with black people because their problems include "dealing with white supremacy and white privilege."

"For a lot of black people, that message doesn’t resonate because we understand our problems are greater than class. Our problems are about dealing with white supremacy and white privilege. Those things are not superseded by when you get a good job or get into the middle class or even the upper class.
There are a fair number of middle-class blacks, and while life might not be peaches and cream for them, the good jobs and money do help them pursue their own happiness. Which is what it's supposed to be about...
So, he’s not dealing with a central problem for us. We understand that this class-based argument is not -- it leaves us cold a bit because it’s not the entire story."
Spot on Mr. Toure! Opportunity, employment, and attaining upper class status are definitely NOT the solution. Zimbabweification and Nationalism are the solutions.
Mr. Toure wants American blacks to have their own shithole of a place to live. And he wants to be Mr. Big...

To see that my trouble's not them (it's me!),

Good luck with that. You might want to polish you English grammar and composition. I never, ever said 'superseded by when'.

#6  They have their safe spaces. Detroit. Oakland. Memphis. Baltimore. Etc. I suggest they go there to get away from white privilege.

#1  Why do people hate democracy which is what they're saying? Cause they want power to impose their will over others.
