(8,994 posts)Rich whites, the Plutocrats, made up almost the ENTIRETY of slave owners in the South. Look it up. Not many whites, by percentage, owned slaves. Just the richest ones. LOOK IT UP.
All the other white males were sold the life of a slaveowner as a path to prosperity and the good life; so many of them, particularly in the South, drank the kool-aid and got indoctrinated. We're still dealing with the effects of that brain-washing. That's what started poor whites into hating on blacks. Nobody's saying they shouldn't be dealt with, as many cannot be de-programmed. But many whites who did nothing to anyone are also under attack - and this cannot go on.
This is not the only example of this happening. Look at the Caste system in India. Same problem, in a nutshell.
BTW my ethnicity is "none of the above" - I ain't white, WASP, German, Irish, Russian, etc., what the fuck ever brand of term they use now, and I have dealt with racial profiling and the skinheads too.
I've been discriminated against in the workplace and I know that when this is all sorted out, tons of white men and every other "privileged group" will be flushed out.
You know what really makes me sad? Many whites (not all) are happy to bask in the Faustian privilege given to them by the Plutocrats, they have no idea that the big economic flush is coming and they're going to be on the wrong side of it. Then when the flush happens and poor blacks see white unemployment skyrocket (and it will), they'll say "serves you right you bastards" instead of "damn, huddle up with us and we'll wage a revolution together against the Plutocracy". If they did offer the newly impoverished whites an olive branch, many whites won't take it - they'll blame the BLACKS for bringing them down. Or the Mexicans, etc.
Meanwhile, the Plutocrats will have won - instead of coalition and a united workers' revolution, we'll see an orgy of worker-on-worker revenge, Schadenfreude and counter-vendettas. It'll be like the Hunger Games, except instead of the Plutocrats forcing us to fight, we'll gladly fight amongst ourselves all on our own.
And whichever race Spartacus is, when he rises up, the other race will shoot him in the back and take us right back to hating each other, while we live in squalor under the shadow of the Plutocracy.
BUT... that doesn't matter to you.
