The Body Count in the U.S. War against Black People Continues
Add the name of Charleena Lyles, a pregnant woman from Seattle, to the list of victims of the U.S. State. Her name will soon move down the column, since killer cops “are inherent in the logic of repression that has always characterized the relationship between the U.S. racist settler-state and black people.” Killing Black people comes easily, especially at this stage of capitalism in which their labor is no longer needed.
"Our lives, concerns, perspectives, history and desires for the future are of no concern to the rulers of this state and for vast numbers of ordinary whites."
"The settler-colonial, capitalist, white supremacist state and society is the enemy of black people and most oppressed people in the world."
"The logic of neoliberal capitalism has transformed our communities and peoples into a sector of the U.S. population that is no longer needed."
