Think about your childhood, and how a little corner park like this with a basketball hoop and a swing set could be the best place on earth. Now, look at what we leave our children.

Oakland, a city once known for its revolutionary spirit, is sick. For too long, poverty pimps have exploited the city's extraordinary spirit, its suffering, and its people to enrich themselves and advance their own ambitions. The results are all around us. A failing government. Streets covered in graffiti and trash. Children who cannot read. A former mayor recalled by the people and now standing trial on federal corruption charges. And the political machine that enabled and defended her continues operating as though nothing ever happened. You cannot be a revolutionary while serving as an obedient instrument of the state. Period. Oakland has become a place where those who demand accountability are smeared, intimidated, and ostracized, while those who flatter power, excuse corruption, and serve the political machine are rewarded with status, influence, and access. This is how a city loses its soul. The language of liberation becomes a disguise for the pursuit of power. Revolutionary ideals become little more than a marketing strategy for careerists and opportunists. The people who claim to speak for the oppressed have become dependent on the very institutions they once promised to challenge. And the people suffer while the charade continues. The question is no longer whether Oakland's political establishment has betrayed its revolutionary ideals. The question is how many of us have become willing participants in that betrayal. Which one are you? Answer honestly.

Democrats dangled reparations in front of America’s black community for decades, then went and spent 10x as much on illegal immigrants because they think we are too stupid to ever leave the plantation, I mean party.
