'Strike for Black Lives’ to highlight racism

“They claim to support Black lives, but their business model functions by exploiting Black labor — passing off pennies as ‘living wages’ and pretending to be shocked when COVID-19 sickens those Black people who make up their essential workers,” said Henderson, co-executive director of Tennessee-based Highlander Research and Education Center.

“We’ve got the coronavirus going on, plus we’ve got this thing with racism going on,” Andrews said. “They’re tied together, like some type of segregation, like we didn’t have our ancestors and Martin Luther King fighting against these types of things. It’s still alive out here, and it’s time for somebody to be held accountable. It’s time to take action.”

Systemic poverty affects 140 million people in the U.S, with 62 million people working for less than a living wage, according to the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, a strike partnering organization. An estimated 54 percent of Black workers and 63 percent of Hispanic workers fall into that category, compared to 37 percent of white workers and 40 percent of Asian American workers, the group said.

Organizers said some striking workers will do more than walk off the job on July 20. In Missouri, participants will rally at a McDonald’s in Ferguson, a key landmark in the protest movement sparked by the death of Michael Brown, a Black teenager who was killed by police in 2014. The strikers will then march to a memorial site located on the spot where Brown was shot and killed.

Collectivist unions walking out in solidarity with a Marxist movement, “highlighting” nonexistent “systemic racism” while being blithely ignorant of their own, very real racism on display. Irony within irony within irony. This is some Inception-level irony here.

After months with the economy on hold, millions of jobs lost and these people call for a strike... LOL!!! Clear picture...

Unions can't solve the problem, they are the problem. In order to get to the root of the issues tough questions have to be answered and they haven't been yet. When did the downfall of the black family start? Who is allowing inner city schools to be run so poorly and w/o choice?++

Labor unions are the most racist....and most leftist....or organizations. They've excluded all but their own for generations. But this pose? Uh, okay, Mr. Soros wants us to walk out, we will.

What exactly is systematic racism? Please be specific, I'll wait
