I do not live in Ferguson MO so what can I do to help there? I can support voters rights so they are allowed to vote their useless city government out so they can hire their own police force and make changes. But other than that I cannot change what is happening there. I also cannot change what happens in the state of MO either. I do not live there.
I did elect a US Representative, two US Senators and a President that could do something about it but not alone. But as it turns out not much was accomplished for the black community. Or for any of us on the bottom.
What exactly do you expect from us and I am not asking to be educated about the problem of people of color - I am a white part of a community of color. My family all are people of color. I am asking for specific actions that I can do. Like Bernie I have always been a supporter of civil rights and the movement for social and economic justice but apparently that will never be enough. No matter what I do I will always be just a white supremacist liberal.
