The actual substantive issues of racism and diversity have actually been brilliantly taken over by the ultra-rich and political powers that be. What's the real giveaway? Corporations LOVE talking about them.
In the social media massively distributed bullhorn industry, these issues are used to create a distracting perma-debate that both parties can employ and divide for their needed political support. But notice that the debates never center on the most important diversity issue: the fact that the rich have almost all the money, is squeezing everyone, and the squeezing appears as fissures along racial and ethnic lines.
Basically, non-whites basically are saying "hey we need money and investment from white people". Which is true! 99% of nonwhite communities need massive investment.
But white people say "we don't have any money". Which is true! Because the white middle class is gone, the upper middle class is now being hollowed out, and generational warfare has left most young "upper class" white people as well as the once-middle-class whites completely laden with loans. So 90% of whites don't have money, and THEY need investment.
So where's the money? Oh ... right.
- WalterBright 3y ago> the fact that the rich have almost all the money Obviously not true. The government has almost all the money. When it needs more, it just prints off a few trillion as necessary. As for the rich, they by and large created the wealth they have. When you invest money in an enterprise that is productive, you're creating wealth.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoBoth your takes on the rich can be true at the same time. This is still the same stuff Marx, et al. talked about.
