Words.

Two thirds of Blacks aren't on welfare. And there's no shortage of economically impoverished whites on welfare. Were it not for the irrational nature of capitalism no one would need welfare. it was after all established to ease the social ruins created by the Great Depression. By the way, you're not a minority in your own country. The Native Americans are minorities in their own country thanks to European and Euro-American policies and wars of genocide.

Actually, slavery in British territory ended long before it ended in the USA. With the rise of right wing and racist nationalists in Europe, and an essentially white supremacist (if not also Fascist) administration in the USA, I'd like to think that Blacks in both the USA and UK have better sense than to pit themselves against each other rather than our reactionary, racist enemies. Nothing could be dumber, especially in the era of Trump, than the notion of "Black British vs Afro-Americans. " Let's not be so stupid as to defeat ourselves.

Northern activists, who frequently confronted the ugly Northern racism which King encountered in Chicago, were usually quite aware of bigotry and oppression of northern states. Even outside of the South there's a long record of discrimination and violence--particul arly by police. Racist mob violence against blacks in the North is also old news.

Capitalism is disintegration, devoured by its own rapacious contradictions. And as it declines it is destroying civilization as well. Capitalism has also generated modern racism and the anti-intellectual stupidity
