(13,133 posts)I never signed up for any of it. To me, it's the whole civilization thing and the way it's structured. It's about control and it's a convenience for that non-thinking public at large. They assume that's the way things are because they see those images produced by that civilization in that larger aggregate. If you peruse a media with a language other than english you would notice that white-people-in-charge stereotype is not used because it doesn't sell products.
It's the reward-benefit treadmill, if you don't play the game correctly you will not get all the goodies you wanted.
I have a hard time to feeling worried or involved thinking much of this as real race issue (but that is just me) The President i voted for is black, the branch manager my work is chinese, my boss is black, my two supervisors are latino and shift lead man is black and me as a white folk, i am a minority in my workplace and the larger community at large.
To me, it is ideal of what propels this is what one might want to find the root of. To me it seems more like the police state we live in. How the story goes is, that he who has a gun and looks like he should posses it gets the pass, the rest us are just collateral that might be pushed aside or done away with.
If you look to other places where capitalism is the rule, education is lower tier and race is more of a mono-type then in them places the police state is pervasive and obtuse. It also occurs to me that where the billionaires can use race as a ruse to divide us, they have more opportunity to get their way with that cop mentality as the enforcer.
And no i don't find it coincidence that majority of the billionaires of that european heritage, it revolves of who looks like who that controls the wealth with the guns.
