34. Focusing the blame

I continue to be amazed that these "forgotten" cannot learn where to focus the blame. It is always "the other" . . . the brown person, the black person, the poorer person . . . who "took his job." This "forgotten" never asks himself how "the other" TOOK the job. "The other" is as powerless as he is; "the other" can merely take a job if it is offered. The truth is, his job was taken by a boss who found someone even further down the economic ladder whose exploitation put a little bit more money in the pocket of the boss.
