MAKE REVOLUTION FOR TRAYVON MARTIN AND ALL OF US
Keep them in their place and keep them in their place any way possible. That’s the attitude of many in the white race toward black people and young black men in particular. That is a major reason these same folk have pushed for outlandish stand your ground laws and why they applaud the murder of Trayvon Martin. What happened to Trayvon mirrors the murder of the black youth Emmitt Till in Mississippi in the 1950’s by a racist, white mob because allegedly he spoke to a white girl. Both of these incidents that belittle the rights and lives of blacks harken back to the Dred Scott decision of 1857 when the Supreme Court ruled that African Americans like Dred Scott had no right to sue in federal courts. All of these cases show how racist whites think that black people are not human beings and if they have the audacity to live their lives with their heads held high then they will be forcefully suppressed. This kind of oppression against minorities is as Amerikan as apple pie.
Ultimately the people who really benefit from this kind of madness are the 1% super rich capitalists who run Amerika. As long as black people are pushed down further than whites, the 1% can more easily force blacks to work for lower wages and they can more easily deny them quality schools, housing, transit and other services. Also because the 99% are often divided along racial lines it’s hard for them to unite to fight back against the 1%. However the 99% of all races must recognize that the source of their common problems and racism are the 1% super rich capitalists and we must unite together to overthrow the rule of the 1% to build a better world for all of us.
It may be possible to eliminate racism in a capitalist society, but it’s also easy to reverse things and put racist practices back in place because the drive by the 1% to make profit at all costs under capitalism is a powerful force that constantly promotes racists divisions among the 99% for the benefit of the 1%. To eliminate racism quickly and thoroughly, the 99% should unite to fight for a socialist revolution. A key goal of socialist society is to create a world that is free of all exploitation and oppression including racism. Socialism does this by focusing on the needs of the 99% and it eliminates profit making by the 1%. The successful end of socialism will be to create a communist world that has no class differences and that has eliminated all exploitation and oppression between people. Given the way capitalism is destroying the lives of most of the 99% through under employment, outright unemployment and poverty and the way it has done these things repeatedly over hundreds of years, it’s well past time to make revolution to overthrow the rule of 1%. The time is now to fight for a socialist revolution and build a worldwide communist society that operates for the good of the overwhelming majority of the world’s people and not for the profits of the greedy 1%.
