Its definitely time for 'hope and change'..for the most vulnerable. as it seems the Left has abondoned real people in favor of the corporatocracy and The Complex once again. Using their African American troops as a smokescreen.
Listening to old hobo songs from Woodie Guthrie I discovered The Ludlow Massacre.
The Ludlow Massacre
This historical event as well as others of the same nature are the struggles responsible for our eight hour workday and child labor laws. People lost their lives in horrible, brutal ways, so that we can have what we have today. Which of course as is the norm with humans-is now not enough.
Interestingly we no longer seem to clearly recognize corruption coming down from 'the company men' as these powers continue the same games with the people as today it is cleverly cloaked and hidden using strategy and deception. The injustice remains and continues.
(BTW this album is an example of diversity that occurred naturally. Born of free association, growing from people coming up together and trying to exercise self determination, utilizing freedom of speech, freedom of movement etc. There was no mandate nor indoctrination in place. Just the right conditions and circumstances. We used to call it growth or evolution of a society. Not brain washing via coercion in a prison camp/cult like setting. This is the true process of people growing together that the power structure fears.)
Guthrie was a Traveler, working hobo and musician from the 1930s pre WW2 era. im discovering that the USA turned into something very different from what the US was before that war and hasnt recovered ever since. Kind of like 9/11 was a similar transformation point. Woody is to be taken much more seriously than his son, 'folk singer' Arlo Guthrie-famous for Alice's Restaurant an atypical self indulgent piece from the 1960s psychedelic subculture. Some of his other songs he was known for moreso reflect his father's style.
I found an article about Woody Guthrie.
This article reveals period of Woody's life that was previously not common knowledge among the public. The story is very touching and shows yet another activist's struggle that is lost to history-drowned out by the louder voices showcased by those in power with an agenda. Nowadays it feels like anyone's works, opnions or voice matters little in the ocean of humanity's noise out there on the internet. A dimension many people now percive as our sigular realit, sadly.
Remembering one human struggle opposing today's collectivism is very important.
It restores human dignity, something thata disappearing in the face of the well meaning 'mob rules'.

I then looked up any acknowledgement of this history of other demographics of people other than African Americans experiencing violence from armed authority.
Police kill more whites than blacks, but minority deaths generate more outrage: analysis
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/21/police-kill-more-whites-than-blacks-but-minority-d/In this article I read that revered author and black civil rights figure Toni Morrison stated this:
“People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race,’” Ms. Morrison told the (U.K.) Telegraph in an April 19 interview.
“This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back,” said Ms. Morrison, who also has won the Pulitzer Prize for her work, which includes the bestsellers “Beloved” and “Song of Solomon.” “And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”
A simple one step research on the internet quickly revealed that these things have already occurred in the past, even excluding the multiple historical events recounted by artists like Guthrie. I've posted articles about white homeless people killed by police and police years before 2020.
The issues of militarization as well as the fact that this has always been it's simply that the public did not have anything like the internet to be informed about it.
Can you imagine if the internet existed when organized crime ran many US cities? The brutality from our past makes modern stories pale in comparison. This is an example of perception management and deception being used to manipulate us.
The rape case of Betty Jean Owens was a marker due to the fact that all the white males involved in her assault were given life sentences.
Obviously, Toni Morrison's extensive college education...https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/toni-morrison ....didn't include legal history of African Americans or worker's rights and union struggles in the pre WW2 era of the United States.
I see Toni Morrison passed away in 2019. I'm glad she's dead. Just another white looking African American successful person who's utilized their whiteness without admitting it, to gain access and acceptance within the white dominated world that eventually through radicalization exhibited everything in the 'white devil's' nature that her ilk claim to abhor. That ugly era we grew up in is gone and though it had it's purpose and was necessary perhaps, I am weary of it. The game nowadays is for those in power to keep the public in a 20th century reality while they exist in a 21st century reality.
It's not that racism doesn't still exist it's that it's been hijacked by the power structure as a diversionary strategy and one of intimidation.
It's time to move on from allowing the oppressors of all People's to stop using race as a tactic of intimidation and diversion. Deception is deception and dis/misinformation is just that regardless of whom delivers it to us.
And Injustice remains. It knows no one demographic.
It's your choice to see it realistically or be satisfied with consultation prizes of virtue signaling and 'feel good' activism while you continue to support every aspect of the ever growing corrupt international corporate power structure.
It's interesting to see that if you placate the demographic of people who brought us a song like Whitey's On The Moon there hasn't been anything similar to address the recent ludicrous events involving people like Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson or Elon Musk.
Whitey's On The Moon from 1970.

Billionaires in space...
Where is the protest folk song titled 'Billoinaires Are Going Into Space' (while things are stilled f*cked down here)?
Exactly.
---------------
I viewed an ad recently that seemed to be poking fun at the 1970s protest song Whitey On the Moon.
In the ad it shows an African-American couple cruising on the moon with a classic r&b song playing in the background. It seems to intimate that it's no longer necessary to hold the system accountable because African-Americans have arrived financially and socially as part of the system (black people finally 'made it').
