And to ignore all situations in which black and white people get along. I repeat, TO IGNORE ALL SITUATIONS IN WHICH BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE GET ALONG.

The rise of the union movement in America produced a vast amount of black and white cooperation and friendship and mutual loyalty -- until unions themselves became big business and mafia money laundries and would-be monopolies.

"But there is racism in America."

As I said, the planners of an op are going to choose a situation that has reality.

There is also this reality: "You're white, and so you can't possibly understand what is going on, because you have inherent privilege, it's built into you, and you can't escape it. Therefore, everything you say is tainted."

That's a very strong and very divisive and very insane argument. Individuals, no matter who they are, see clearly or see dully, and the ability to know something isn't determined by skin color or cultural background. Privilege is a con. It's a con as an argument. It was injected into academia to brainwash the young, to produce class and race hatred, on both sides. And it's worked.

"I hate you."

"I hate you, too."

Perfect.

"You have to take a knee to me."

"Like hell I do."

Perfect.

"Black people have to rise through the ranks based on merit alone."

"Like hell we do. We can't, because there is institutional prejudice and racism."

Perfect.

Stoke the fire of opposition. Kill off cooperation. Kill off friendship. Silence the millions of people who are beyond any kind of racism. Drown out their voices. Drown out their warmth for each other, turn it to ice, turn it into ideology that substitutes for human connections. Rip those human connections out of America.
