Brother Ajamu on “Thank You For Your Service”
Tags: African-American, Ajamu Baraka, political commentary, politics, United States, USA, Veterans Day
________________________
Dear Black Americans:
Drop the right-wing “thank you for your service” BS to those of us who ended up for various reasons in the military and serving the rich white capitalist oligarchy of this country. There’s nothing honourable about being part of an oppressive military machine responsible for destroying nations and peoples that posed no threat to this country. Plus, who are you… a subjugated people still murdered in the streets of this country… to be thanking someone for their so-called “service?” You’re just imitating and it’s undignified… drop it.
