It's insidious ****, man, and aimed just as much at keeping your white population afraid and voting the way policy makers want (ie harsh law enforcement and a criminal justice system that amounts to a form of modern slavery). Governments around the world use similar tactics to control their populations and justify their existence... the double whammy of an external threat (it's been 'terrorism' for most of us since the fall of Communism) to justify arms spending and to convince the population that they need protecting and an internal underclass on which to blame domestic woes and justify internal repression, surveillance and control...
Ima a 'workers of the world unite' kinda dude and it strikes me that folk are gonna have to find a way to work out who the real enemy is and put aside the artificial divisions of colour and race to make progress, but just how you gonna untangle that ish in the particular conditions of the US I have no clue... you got some good people over there, but the divisions are deep.
EDIT: Damn, this is definitely boxing ish is it? Probably belongs in the lounge, but I try to steer clear of the political discussion in there cos it's a massive waste of time.
