When the Pew Center recently polled African Americans it found that a solid majority of us now believe that historic gaps between black and white incomes, wages, along with disparites in health, wealth, morbidity, mortality and more are closing. Both the Pew Center and Ford agree this is good news, except for one thing. It's not true. Black unemployment is the highest it's been in 70 years and rising, and all the gaps between blacks and whites are further widening, not the other way around. The only thing that's changed is we now have a black face in the White House...
“If having black faces in high and not so high places doesn’t save our lives why should we support them at all?”
“Kanye West merely represents what happens when the Black misleadership class begins to reflect the crisis of the US system.”
“The systematic violence could not have occurred without the ongoing support from the U.S.”
“Spill is about freeing up our imaginations and our bodies for a world we deserve and yet don’t know how to narrate.”
“All of the women in the book envisioned new and expansive visions of black liberation.”
