Bernie Sanders and the Liberal Imagination

Why Bernie Sanders Is Right to Oppose Reparations

There are lots of principled reasons that an anti-racist socialist might not favor the policy.

Conor Friedersdorf,  The Atlantic, 25 January 2016

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/01/bernie-sanders-right-on-reparations/426720/

Why Precisely Is Bernie Sanders Against Reparations?

The Vermont senator’s political imagination is active against plutocracy, but why is it so limited against white supremacy?

Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Atlantic, 24 January 2016   

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/01/bernie-sanders-reparations/424602/

—— 

The Case for Reparations

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

A Rising Tide Lifts All Yachts

The idea that President Obama has aided poor black people through a broad race-blind expansion of the social safety net deserves some scrutiny.

Emir Kusturica - Bubamara (Sziget 2012)
https://youtu.be/urnaTffbkT4

The Bosnian rock band band was formed in 1981 in Sarajevo. They created a distinctive garage rock sound with folk influences, often featuring innovative production and complex story-telling, sometimes even dark premonitions of war. They went on to record four albums and tour the country extensively, occasionally sparking controversy and even getting into trouble with authorities for their criticism of the socialist system.
