Bernie Sanders ... is most interesting because he offers black Americans a real possibility for change.
Steven Thrasher, Guardian US writer-at-large and columnist
Spike Lee endorsed Sanders on Tuesday, the latest in a series of black intellectual heavy-weights to have come out in support of him. Yet, the Clintons still enjoy “robust black support.”
Steven Thrasher says that Bernie’s critique of capitalism is best for Black America. Read why, in the Guardian.

Progressive business commentary for the open minded
My business life has been about trying new things - about seeing the space to be more inventive, more innovative, to take risks so that we can truly make exciting progress.
At Williams F1 that was about hybrid energy, about proving that green can be a real option for racing. Environmental evolution at F1 reflected the evolution I would make in my investments. Don't be scared of new ideas: Cosworth Engineering pioneer innovation, QuantumBlack use data to help businesses evolve. And the biggest task for me right now: Walk Free, the movement to end modern slavery. People are quick to tell me, to tell all of us, that slavery is inevitable and we can't change it.
Those people are wrong. The world changes all the time - and businesses are sometimes the worst at seeing how they should be changing with it. So scared of losing our place that we stay still when we really need to be moving faster.
This blog will provide commentary on the business world for people with broad horizons: my thoughts investments and intersectionality in the fields of technology, business, ethics and finance.

"At a societal level, the bottom line is if we invest in things that make us feel good but which don't work, and don't invest in things that don't make us feel good but which may solve problems, then our fate is that it will just get harder to feel good about not solving problems."
"There can be no sensible disagreement over certain salient facts: first, the US now has more than 10,000 weaponised drones in its arsenal; second, as many as six Predator drones circle over one location at any given time, often for 24 hours a day, with high-resolution cameras snooping on the movements of everyone below; third, the Predators emit an eerie sound, earning them the name bangana (buzzing wasp) in Pashtu; fourth, everyone in the area can see them, 5,000ft up, all day – and hear them all night long; fifth, nobody knows when the missile will come, and turn each member of the family into what the CIA calls a "bugsplat". The Predator operator, thousands of miles away in Nevada, often pushes the button over a cup of coffee in the darkest hours of the Waziristan night, between midnight and 5am. So a parent putting children to bed cannot be sure they will wake up safely.
Every Waziri town has been terrorised. We may learn this from the eyewitness accounts in Living Under Drones, or surmise it from the exponential increase in the distribution of anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication across the region."
And this is how you get from discussions about the end of money to the phenomenon of panic buying – not because anybody believes the effects of a currency collapse can be mitigated if you have a really good supply of carbohydrates and wind-up radios; rather, because once you don't trust the government, you're immediately alienated. There's no soft gradation where you stop believing in central government but still trust your local council. It's a trip switch: one minute you're a member of society, the next you're a Mormon – only without the consolation of afterlife (Mormons, for comparison, are instructed to keep three months' worth of supplies; it makes you wonder how long they think this apocalypse is going to take).

there is a growing distrust of the government (previously because of the punitive tax rates on oil; now for all the obvious reasons starting with the word "Osborne" and ending with "in this together, my arse")
Zoe Williams
behind all the statistics and all analysis, are actual children and young people being told by very rich men that their already struggling families are about to struggle even more. Statistics, while illuminating, do not begin communicate the reality of the lives of children from poor families. The effects of child poverty run deep and last long and my own experience is just one of far too many.
