(8,994 posts)It flourished in Africa but now the same tribalism is being exploited all over the world wherever Capitalism flourishes.
The Plutocracy picks tribal factions all over the place to serve as favorites and as the oppressed. In India it's much more overt in the form of the caste system. Here it's white men, who don't have to worry about being marginalized. But working class white men who did nothing to anyone are also under attack with "Hate whitey" rhetoric - this nobody can deny.
Many white men (not all) are guilty of ignoring racial profiling because they're privileged not to have to go through that. Many non-white people make racist jokes about whites, which is offensive to all the white people who did nothing to harm anyone. BOTH sides are ignorant of the fact that the problem is the PLUTOCRACY that has us all divided.
Since you're not getting it I'll repeat. Large numbers of white men need to understand that non-whites suffer from marginalization, racial profiling and a host of other white-centric discrimination. Large numbers of minorities need to focus their rage NOT on the millions of white men who have done absolutely nothing to oppress minorities. BOTH sides need to know that white privilege is a social construct created by the PLUTOCRACY.
This lesson needs to be learned and repeated between men and women, Christians and non-Christians, union and non-union workers, Americans and immigrants, and so on.
