I’m not a racist, but even though I know in some part of my brain that corporations and billionaires are using racism as a divide and conquer strategy. I’m OK with that because those people are white .


That is something that we could change very quickly and completely.

But, we worship the rich, so that will never happen.

We worship greed as a positive trait, so that will never happen.

We prefer to believe the lie that we could get to their level of wealth, as opposed to understanding that they ahem already rigged things so that we can't do that, so that will never happen.

In short, it will never stop because enough of us don't want it to.
