Race became an industry... an arena where non-profit executives and politicians could farm money-making opportunity, and the media could keep generating lazy copy to sell.

Then we started making real progress after Republicans passed landmark civil rights legislation and beat back the racist Democrats. We got to a point where everyone needed to admit that we had achieved what our great system intended... that all men were created equal under the eyes of our creator, and that racial bias needed to be extinguished from all institutions. What would be left, what would always be left, would be the ubiquitous and scientifically-explained flaw of tribalism that causes some underdeveloped people to demonstrate individual bias against those of other ethnicities and races. And as long as those people never caused material harm to another over their race, we should have been fine with that.

What was needed.... acceptance of our achievement and a commitment to launch civil rights 2.0... a raceless movement toward class equality. A movement that opened up the doors for low income minorities to ascend into the middle class.

But two camps of opposition formed.

One - the race farming industry that had developed did not want to lose their money, fame and vote-getting arena.

Two - the corporatist establishment ruling class, at the time, was pushing a globalist agenda that required selling off American industry and manufacturing and exporting working class jobs to other countries like China and Mexico for bigger Wall Street returns.

Initially, the first camp exploited the Democrat political connections, and the second camp the Republican party. Since Obama is has been the Democrats that have taken over both camps... with a small minority of Republican politicians that continue to be part of this globalist corporatist uniparty.

But today the Democrat party and their Wall Street-powered globalist corporatist billionaire overlords, their coastal and big city liberal cultural progressives (aka cultural radicals), their army of NGOs and all their media activist pals masquerading as journalists, refuse to concede that real institutional racism is bygone and the actual problem with minority outcomes is an economic issue.

They reject civil rights 2.0 because it is inconvenient to their power and money sandbox. They NEED those poor minorities to stay miserable... on the plantation of low economic circumstances... so THEY can continue their looting ways.
