Ex-Cop Eric Adams Leads NYC Race; Can a Black Mayor of a City w/the largest population of blacks, Dominated by Dems, Stop Cops From Murdering Blacks in Broad Daylight or Interfering w/Rights at Will?

NO. The Democratic Party has dominated NYC city politics for decades. There are Blacks and non-white representatives at all levels of government. Yet Blacks still had and have no power to get justice for Eric Garner or other Black people murdered in broad daylight by cops or power to prevent cops from surveilling, targeting, stopping and searching or otherwise interfering with law abiding Black people’s so-called rights on a daily basis. This is what powerless class means. So called “voting power” is an illusion. Voting heavily for Black and friendly White politicians’ has not helped Black people solve their problem of neutralizing white supremacy and the system of authority.

Amos Wilson states, ‘The dependent media is ever quick to remind the Black electorate of the historical struggles necessary to achieve their right to vote. It indicts the community for its electoral apathy and seeks to evoke guilt feelings in those who do not participate in the electoral process — making such ritualistic participation emblematic of democracy and first-class citizenship. This is of special interest when it is realized that very few, if any, of the major political, economic and social goals achieved by Black America, including the Voting Rights Act, were accomplished through Black voting prowess. The ballot box has been a relatively impotent weapon in the achievement of major victories by the Black community. Suddenly vigorous protest and direct-action legal suits and extralegal processes such as boycotts, sit-ins, and the like, which were used so effectively by the community to achieve its sociopolitical ends and to fight injustice and oppression, have fallen far behind the election of Black politicians to achieve the same ends.
