Get ready for a lot more scare mongering from the most powerful political and economic forces in this country as they consolidate around Joe Biden to try to stop Bernie Sanders.

Kicking off with @ProfGrosfoguel on the definition of Racism. It is NOT prejudices/stereotypes held by extremists BUT always institutional. The state through selective practices in response to different parts of the populace is just ONE example

“Because whites are not socialized to see ourselves collectively, we don't see our group's history as relevant. Therefore, we expect people of colour to trust us as soon as they meet us. We don't see ourselves as having to earn that trust.”

MAVERICK CITIZEN: Justice (at last) for Michael Komape’s horrific pit toilet death https://t.co/EggteNZozn

[Eusebius McKaiser @Eusebius]

One of the COUNTLESS unforgiving horrors of the Komape case is that for years, it was known that it would cost ONLY R500 to build "structurally sound (toilet) seats". Michael was killed by a state refusing to pay a mere R500 to uphold the boy's fundamental rights.

Unforgiving.

[letlhogonolo @mx_mokgoroane]

Last night I was on eNCA talking about the recent ConCourt judgment on the doctrine of common purpose in relation to the common law definition of rape. The Court unanimously held that the doctrine applies to rape.
