you cant vote your way out of oppression
I usually just lurk when it comes to these topics, because there so emotionally charged that there is no room for rationality or context. But this statement encapsulates the basic root problem while there will never be REAL progressive change in racism through the mechanism of capitalism via white supremacy. We will just keep going through these historical cycles of feigned tolerance and acceptance, while the hatred and annihilation of and for Africans and other non-Caucasian people bubbles under the surface.
The one thing that must be understood and digested is, that no matter what the ideology of the rest of the world that doesn't have a vested interest in furthering the structure of white supremacy, those with the means to change it/improve it have NO interest in doing so. No amount of voting, protesting, gerrymandering or even violence to a certain extent will engender those in power to improve the situation. Reason for this is simple, they don't want to relinquish the power and prestige that comes along with a world blinded by the propaganda of white supremacy and racism, whether they believe/practice the mechanisms themselves. You can't appeal to those that have no moral compass or ability to empathize, their basically sociopaths and perverse existentialists.
. Anyone who brings up these Malcolm X and MLK comparisons is automatically suspect
