In a general since, the civil war was not really only about slavery, this idea is done deliberately to distract from what the civil war was really about. Big business is controlling our lives. Today in modern times, big business is so much a part of everyday life, that we can no longer understand a world where this was not the de-facto. It can no longer be understood what innate freedoms we have lost. The right to vote is the only freedom we really have and that is an illusion perpetuated by two bipartisan modes of thought giving the illusion that choosing between these is choice and empowerment
In fact all 'freedoms' given is nothing but cloaked debt, servitude and control. The act of simply needing someone to give you freedom is slavery itself and in your face folly self contradiction. Many freedoms are outright dangerous, because to use them is really to oppress someone else. The right to oppress someone else, because they have attempted to take away your freedom to do so is an often used but somehow justifiable insane action by those who claim 'freedom'
In essence when we lost the civil war, the black never did become free. Everyone else simply became equally enslaved. When a person or group can hide their discrimination racist behavior and thinking simply by not saying words, like ‘nigger’,’ kite’, ‘gook’, the racism is truly rampant and easy to hide. Racism is alive and well in the society, very clandestine and systemic, it is so much a part of everyday culture that people cannot even see it. So many minorities and blacks are in prison. Most of them when they get out have no job skills; have felony records and no chance to get a job, since they have a record. Also they went to crime mostly because of three things; the first thing is lack of education. The quality of schools in certain areas of the country is extremely poor; the school is nothing more than a mass slave factory that teaches that consumption and the ability to consume is paramount ( Capitalistic Fundamentalism) and taking things that value's origin is in materialsm is a crime giving rise the the delusion that 'thing's' have greater value over a persons life and liberty.
No one wants to put money into education because it does not sway the vote that much, and is not where the money can be had, also the systemic belief that minorities are inferior, or somehow bad, and ‘going to go to prison any way’ prevents people from wanting to invest in them, thus causing the problem. The third thing is the obvious we all know about, 'but cannot prove' misappropriation of education funds. Financially it is suicide to put so many people in prison as opposed to educating them so they do not feel it is good judgment nor do they have the need to break the law. The money it cost for each prisoner is enough to put that individual through all his/her years of school and complete all of college. Because of the systemic racist inferiority thinking we think that keeping them in prison is less costly, and society is better off. Yes, society is better off from criminals, but when did black and criminal become synonymous, when were these terms allow to comingle, and are they not being created to not only justify an inherent racists mentality but to also create the illusion of security resulting from a lack of trust, to where the systemic belief blacks and criminals are one in the same causes society to treat them as such from birth, raising them to become and think of themselves as such.
In a very broad since everyone is responsible for themselves and people make choices, however this is not an individual problem, it affects everyone. Discrimination has a negative impact on us as a whole, and a sign of poor humanity, an embarrassment to evolution and evolved society to exam our prison population. It’s easy to see the system is broke, when so many blacks are in prison people say they deserve it, what a shame, the law is working. If it were that many whites in prison then people would say something must be wrong with the system.
We must cast aside any latent or obvious prejudices we have and help rise up the self worth, self esteem and the confidence we have. There is not threat, save to the lie of discrimination in one’s own deluded mind. Ultimately approval and an equal chance is what everyone wants, this will benefit everyone. The sick oppression of the black society in order to create the illusion of freedom and righteousness for the whites is perpetuated behind the scenes by the elite to control everyone, white included.
