I’ll take it even a step further. I believe poor folks, black and white, have been virtually brainwashed to hate each other. Not only are they going to be successful if they band together, but America is dominated by financial subcultures now. Poor folks go their whole lives fighting each other, while small groups of people, laughing all the way to the bank, carve up the whole big pie of money. Man, you talk about divide and conquer. You’ve got too many people not working together, believing race is their problem when poverty and bad schools are their problem, and before you know it, there’s a small group of people who have all the money. As long as they keep the poor people divided, those poor people are never going to be able to get a decent-size piece of the pie. | |
