  • Fantastic article. Gets right to the heart of the problem. Angry people disappointed with how their lives turned out feel like they have to cling to something. Something that gives them the value that they don’t see in themselves as individuals.

    Race is an easy crutch. There are centuries of bullshit pseudoscience about skull shapes and whatnot for them to discover. And most of all, it gives them enemies. They can take all that hate and frustration they feel in their own lives and direct it outwardly.

    It’s ultimately sad and pathetic. Maybe if people like this had economic opportunities, better education, etc. they wouldn’t have the underlying self-loathing that leads them down this path.

    Fred Hampton. They got his head of security to drug him, then came in on him with his pregnant girlfriend asleep next to him and murdered him. His tombstone is all shot up, because cops go there to shoot at it.

    He was the Illinois chairman of the black panther party, and his focus was bringing all races together to fight economic injustice. That, and educating everyone about the class warfare being waged by the extraction class.
