THIS is what I've been saying, over and over again. The supporters just don't want to hear anything about civil rights, MLK and how SCOTUS recently has trampled Civil Rights into the dust. They will not acknowledge these facts you are presenting nor that I have presented and will continue to present about racial justice being a key element in any upcoming campaign by ANY Democratic candidate. They just don't want to say it's important, and I do wonder why. That socialist meme of economic justice is important but as I have been telling that group, it won't stop racism. Economic socialism denies the importance of race as a factor in solving the problems of america. So while economic justice is one element when it interferes with democratic, progressive development of policies that can bring about RACIAL justice and social equality, I have to keep looking for the right candidate. I'll only vote for HRC if I'm forced too. Looks like Bernie is falling into that category, but it's still early enough for him to get his act together.

Since all this socialist talk came out of the Russian revolution, I keep wondering if that could possibly be why racial justice is never discussed or dealt with in any urgent way. The equality gained by economic justice does not bring racial social justice or equality. Period. Russia was predominately white, the socialist movement there and in this country has always been predominately white so maybe the importance of race escapes socialists because of the racial makeup and the fact that racial demographic doesn't have to deal with racism? Could that be one reason?
