It's gone from a visible bruise to a bandaged, festering sore.
Where there is competition for the unequal status quo, there will always be racism. From Grolier's 1992 Software Toolworks multimedia Encyclopaedia:
"The causes of racism are complex and cannot be reduced to a single factor. Its rise and fall are often linked with real conflicts of interest and competition for scarce resources. Historically, racism has commonly accompanied slavery, colonialism, and other forms of exploitation and gross inequality. In other cases relatively powerless groups that have felt threatened by social and economic instability have blamed other powerless groups for their predicament. The insecure white working class and lower middle class of industrial societies, for example, have often expressed racist attitudes toward defenseless minorities, such as blacks in the United States or Commonwealth immigrants in Great Britain [And now, Australians against Asian migrant workers - as encouraged by conservative politicians]...Racism, in short, is frequently an irrational reaction to a real or perceived threat to the status quo."
From the article on race riots from the same source:
"During the Civil War, white workers who feared job competition attacked freed black workers in northern cities...In East Saint Louis, Ill., violence erupted in 1917 over the issue of the employment of blacks in a factory that held government contracts...President Lyndon B.Johnson...issued a report placing much of the blame for the unrest on chronic high unemployment in black neighbourhoods." Though these examples are all about economics, all of them also happened in wartime - perhaps an interesting example of "rule by example". If the government kills people who are different...
If you think that conservatism isn't racist anymore - take a look at Australia, where conservatives blame unemployment on Asian migrants - despite the facts:
Immigration in Australia has actually fallen during the rise in unemployment (which makes sense - who would emigrate to a bad economy?) While at the same time:
Funny, I didn't know that the Australian government and big business was owned and run by migrants...
O-o-o Oreo - the white stuff
So, you where watching the liberal-communist media and saw a black conservative. Don't be fooled.
The first Oreo cookies were the blacks slaves did the whipping for their white masters. With emancipation came middle class blacks, who hated lower class blacks with perhaps for viciousness than whites (a phenomenon found in civil wars). Then, with civil rights and black power during the "crisis of democracy" in the 1960-70's some rich white genius thought up "black capitalism", the idea that we should give back to blacks that coveted job of whipping other blacks. This affirmative action program got no opposition from conservatives, but then, it only made a superficial grey dent in the ranks of today's slaveowners anyway. Of course, now we have black republicans, and black loonyterians. Actors are cheap. Wealthy hypocrites are cheaper.
They'll accept a few into the club, but...
Talking about the takeover of the First American Bank by a company owned + run by East Indians, the Wall Street Journal said (10/28/94): "The particular U.S. concern is discerning how a pack of Arab crooks got control of the biggest bank in Washington, D.C."
They want you to forget this:
Earl B. Dickerson (Fair employment practices committee from 1941 to 1943, his skin is "sort of brown") : "Lockheed had employed some 20,000 people in the war effort. No negros...I asked the head of personnel..."Do you have any negroes in your employ?" He said yes, "How many"... He said nine...sweeping floors."
"...In Washington...The streetcar system did not employ blacks as motormen or conductors. This was during the war, and every day there were [work needed] ads in the newspapers."
"When Governor Kerner appointed me for the Illinois fair employment practices committee, I had to be confirmed by state senate. This fellow Broyls was chairman of the Illinois un-American activities committee...The 15 republicans voted no, the 13 democrats voted yes. I was not confirmed"
"Of course it's fair" says the white male who's inherited all the money "it's the marketplace!"
