So, people are protesting the Tar Sands development, being arrested and obamarama is away on vacation, is it?
And they’re unveiling this statue of Martin Luther King which serves as lovely counterpoint to the protests and arrests that are happening right now. They’re touting it as special because it’s a statue of a Black man rather than of a white man, thereby artificially pitting Black people’s struggles against those of people struggling to preserve the land.
Our struggles are only separate for those who would see us compete with each other for crumbs while the planet is destroyed.
Fuck their stupid ass statue funded by Pepsico, General Motors, Fedex, G.E., Exxon, Mobile….check the names of corps on that list who need that tarsands oil to flow in order to continue to function. Nasty, nasty, nasty, disgustingly nasty.
Deal with the issues at hand! Stop the arrests! Stop the wars! Stop hoarding wealth! De-claw Wall Street!
