The black middle class believes Bloomberg can beat Trump. That's what the media reports and repeats again and again. And there's Bloomberg's face in an ad. And the ads show Obama, congratulating Bloomberg. A good man, that Bloomberg. Moneyed! There's a future at the big table, seated around President Bloomberg! This time, maybe instead of Timothy Geithner or Larry Summers, it's one of Bloomberg's black supporters.
According to a March 2018 article in the Washington Post, "4.4 million of Obama's 2012 voters stayed home in 2016." And a third of those voters, the article reports, were black. In fact, 1.6 millions blacks stayed home.
I can't imagine blacks or people of color in general make the effort to register and possibly standing in long lines to vote for Bloomberg. This election in November is too crucial. To crucial for the planet and climate change is a reality. American want change! No more catering to the wealthy and powerful class. Life around us is dying. And that should matter!
People who wear the boot of the capitalist class historically have been oppressors, responsible for millions of destroyed lives.
The lives of blacks and brown and Indigenous matterbut that's scares America's capitalist class. But, for African Americans, trying on the Iron boot should be a scary proposition.
