A second major issue is the collection of secret legalisms and judicial pantomines recently undertaken at the court-house leading to an inevitable decision not to go to trial. <br /><br />There is much more trouble brewing. Elements of it are related to race, but the main problem is the support for institutionalised violence throughout the US political system. <br /><br />Amit Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1605024900230955692014-11-26T13:18:50.242+13:002014-11-26T13:18:50.242+13:00Well what is is really about is Marxism, and black...Well what is is really about is Marxism, and blacks are merely a weapon in this, as were "the proletariat" in the run up to the October revolution. It is not about "black voices" whatsoever. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
