Worldwide and always been so, that the numbers were against them. I told them to embrace and work for equal rights for all. Most especially minorities, since they were destined to be a minority eventually. The way that 'others' or 'aliens' are treated will be reflected back on them in the future.
But leaders among any group who promote this are playing us. They encourage us to divide into teams to fight each other for their own financial advantage. I don't believe the 1% are racist at all. They are of every race and religion or none, and they don't care. This is a game to keep waste our energy in society.
People buy it, which is why the 1% believe they are superior. And in that respect they are. They don't around tossing nuts and taunts at people because of the color of their skin, or language, but work to keep their wealth, no matter how it is coming in. They respect people that help them.
Things are changing, and this is the true American ideal, what we were working toward and what all people are creating in our nation and world now. Some folks will resist, but they're going against the tide. Prince Charles said as western culture gives way, that whatever was best was what we need to leave the world, and there have been many great things from the Age of Enlightenment others may see as worth keeping.
Racism is not of them. This video is an example of what America and the world is becoming. Warning, it's an ad for Obama by his sister:
This is a positive Democratic Party acknowledgment of the present and the future. What the GOP is presenting is quite foolish. JMHO.
