[Peace-discuss] Black Agenda Report perspectives

[David Green]

 Glen Ford offers this corrective to thorough-going anti-Trumpism:
"Trump or no Trump, the Black movement must continue to press and refine its demands -- or Power will concede nothing. On November 6, after their annual march on the White House, the organizations of the Black is Back Coalition ratified a 19-point document that puts self-determination at the heart of the broadest range of issues confronting Black America: “Every central demand, every strategy of struggle, must be formulated with the goal of self-determination in mind. Otherwise, the movement will allow itself to be drowned in reformist schemes and projects that bind Black people even more tightly to structures of outside control.” The points range from “Black Community Control of Police,” to “Halting Gentrification,” to “Nationalization of the Banks.”The points were compiled during Barack Obama’s time in the White House, and they will remain relevant under a President Donald Trump."
The several speakers on this comprehensive  hour-long program, including Cornel West, also offer such a corrective, implicitly and explicitly:
