Capitalism and mortality: Death rate soars for middle-aged US workers

[monicaangela]

12. This is truly sad...

for years, maybe hundreds of years now, the Native American, African American, and Latin American communities have been down trodden and oppressed. White Americans have been treated to a standard of privilege in this nation. Many benefits afforded to white Americans have not been afforded to minority communities. There has been redlining by the banks where minority communities have been concerned, even the G.I. Bill, and Social Security were skewed in their written instruction in order to try to keep the benefit strictly for white communities. The destruction of the minds of white people by those in power has been devastating. Minority communities have learned to live with oppression, and have found ways to cope. Now comes the time when those in power are no longer able to separate the races in order to make a profit so everybody who isn't a part of the Oligarchy will become just as the communities they have used to rape, rob, and pillage in this nation....no more privilege for those they used to get to where they are, from now on middle class and the poor are equal and will suffer the devastation equally....Welcome to the club!

I can imagine this group that is now taking their own lives by whatever means, death by gun, death by drugs, or death by alcoholism have come to the realization that the world in which they thought they were living, has been a fantasy...the American Dream, (LOL!!! Nice slogan the Oligarchs used to dangle the carrot before the cart) has for them turned into a nightmare, and though they wait for their benefit as usual, many have come to the realization that that benefit will no longer come their way. They, like all minorities before them are going to have to learn to thicken their skin, and cope with reality. I believe this is part of the reason we have so many militias in this nation. Many have come to the realization that they are not now, nor have they ever been a part of the establishment, and just as they have been terrorizing the minority communities in this nation, now the powers that be have begun terrorizing them...services no longer needed so to speak...we are now GLOBAL.

Sad indeed that many have decided to end their lives rather than stand up and fight back. Yes, that is what is needed. We need the communities in this nation, all communities those that have been oppressed, and those that are now beginning to be oppressed to stand together and challenge the oppressor boycott, resist, in whatever manner necessary. No, it won't be easy, just look for instance at what happened to the Occupy movement. I say, for those who care about their brothers and sisters, their mothers and fathers, their Aunts and Uncles, their Cousins stand up and face the truth....you have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, lied to, and above all used to help commit genocide against your brothers and sisters of other races and cultures by those who now prey upon you. Stand with the rest of the 99%, come out of your dream world and fight back....or, continue killing yourselves with guns, drugs, and alcohol. I guess it's up to you.

Thanks for posting this info TexasTowelie, maybe it will open some eyes and improve the thinking of those who have had it easier than they should have for so long.
