The REAL Thinking Mans Radio

Angryman Radio

One think I keep noticing about Obsidian lately. He keeps putting the title, thinking man’s radio on his thumbnails. Well, I find that interesting. Let’s talk real thinking man’s radio. Now the last time I addressed Obsidian, I mentioned how he talked about the economic prosperity of the sixties in spite of criminal activity. As we all know he failed to mention a few other key events that took place in the sixties. Like… Ah. The civil rights movement and the resulting crime due to, “civil unrest.” Or maybe Linden Johnson’s war on poverty which quickly transitioned to his war on crime. But why? Why would he leave out such important events? Could it be these events give clues and hints into why poverty not only causes crime, but how this country orchestrates poverty to manufacture criminals to which the elite can profit from. Well, lets look at the facts. In 1964 the civil rights act was passed. But in that same year federal initiatives were launched for the war on poverty. Shorty after, black people finally gained the right to vote and directly following that was Linden Johnson’s so-called war on crime. Pay attention because this is the prelude to Regan’s so-called war on drugs. In fact. On March 8th of 1965 Johnson passed the law enforcement assistance act. Approximately one week before the voter’s rights act. Coincidence. I think not. Especially given the fact that being found guilty of certain crimes can take away your right to vote, amongst other rights. Fast forward to today and you’ll find that America has the largest percentage of prisoners in the world. 25% to be exact even though America only represents 5% of the world’s population. And keep in mind that the majority of said prisoners are black. Why is this important and what does it have to do with poverty?
