From America, and racism is often a problem in places along the border, or in boom or bust towns where the jobs left. The conservative politicians in this country do a really good job of placing the blame of job loss on immigrants and "welfare queens". It's an easier sell than admitting that the politicians of this country have been selling out our workers to billionaires for decades now.
Wal-Mart comes into town, destroys all the mom and pop stores and then pays their workers a starvation wage. Then Wal-Mart pays lobbyists to lobby against increasing the minimum wage and in order for the senators or congressmen to defend that to their constituents they have to find a way to point the finger at someone who isn't rich.
So race games are being used a lot in America right now to divide up the working class so that the uber rich can skim a few more billion dollars while we squabble over pennies.
That all sounds pretty cynical, but a ray of hope is that much of the millenial generation isn't fooled by that bs. As long as we got the internet we can do a pretty good job of fact checking the BS
Hey, thanks for an complex comment, I never been to America, but my sister said, that If you are poor, or immigrant, many people disrespects you, she is polish and she said that in the blacks there were surprised that she, a white girl is actually speaking with them normally.
America has a long and unfortunate history of mistreating African Americans. It will take a lot to heal the damage our ancestors did to their ancestors. A great documentary you can watch on Netflix is called 13th
It is about the 13th Amendment to our constitution that banned slavery. However many people in the south at that time really didnt like that, and they found ways to keep people as slaves but with a different name, like share croppers, or by unjustly calling them criminals. When people in America go to jail (any race) they do manual labor for almost no money. It's a way to keep a form of slavery alive because if you're a felon, you aren't allowed to vote anymore.
So it's not a coincidence that in the south of America many African Americans were and are arrested and then deprived forever of their right to vote.
I will surely watch this, thanks, man, the same my friend was telling me that the prisons in USA is on big buisness.
Yes, it's very bad because if you have a for profit or "private" prison then you are creating a system where some people make money off of sending people to jail, which obviously encourages those people to try and get more people in jail.
