Even when race relations improve, the government ensures that one group can always be led to hate another. There seems to be unity amongst whites and blacks and other races? Let's make sure white people start hating other white people in some strange SJW movement. Let's change the definition of racism to "minorities can't be racist."
On the other hand, let's completely ignore classism and poverty and contributors to the negative stereotypes of minority communties. Instead, let's have people believe these minorities are inferior.
Let's keep this war going. It doesn't matter who hates who, as long as we all hate each other. That way, nobody can rise together.
This is me being bitter after arguing with somebody about racism on Voat.

Yes agreed. I have been saying for years the conflict stirred between the various races is to obscure the fact that the differences between people these days has much more to do with class, and much less to do with race.

Yes. I wish classism could become the new "go to" word. People fail to understand that there are some pretty solid theories in sociology that support social stratification through classism.

Yup. Sociology and CJ major here, I recall this being discussed repeatedly and regularly in classes.

I wish sociology was a requirement for all majors! It really changed my perception of the world and some things I strongly believed.
