// On Wall Street//

No oNE should feel police brutality or poverty.

Full Stop.

I’m conflicted however.

I find it extremely had to get worked up now as Black/Latino/Native people have had the recession kick them in the head repeatedly for about 4 years now.

The protestors going “” I have a college degree why can’t I get a job ” exhaust me.

BUT

I feel the exact same way . It sucks having worked and  kowtowed and curtsied and swallowed loads of bile to get a degree , being promised that you would leave with skills to work.

And facing an economy that doesn’t have work to give.

BUT

Frankly this new upswing in “concern” rankles because my community . My people(s) were the first to go and it was studied by these same places going

” HOW DID THIS HAPPEN”

as the effects of an ” intelligence based economy”

etc. etc.

Now suddenly we are aware of a “class war”. Did we not magically notice that Detroit went down first, followed by other predominantly black / working class ( non urban) white jobs.

That we started a war on Immigration that was short hand for a race persecution of Latinos that ignored their contributions to economy while driving down their wages?

But that part of the analysis, is absent except for Ehrenrich from time to time. And we wonder why we can’t fix this.

Let’s just say this. this a huge problem but it requires VISION . Creation an example of what we WANT

not

just what we don’t

or who to blame

that’s what got us here in the first place
