We're ALL Imprisoned??
The time for serious finger-pointing has come and gone. Mandela may be breathing his last breaths; white males with hyper-firepower are continuing to rampage, both here and in South Africa; whites in South Africa (and those opportunist blacks who have squandered their opportunity to make significant change) may have to face serious consequences. What is happening in Africa, both above and below the Sahara, can be traced to 500 years of European hegemony -- based on skin color, wrapped, prominently, in the Christian religion. The other two Abrahamic religions are not without complicity.
Every aspect of our waking hours, whether we consider ourselves to be "black" or "white", or "in-between"; is conditioned by this scourge. It has been the principal factor in our domestic politics since the nation was formed. It was kicked into high gear by the demagoguery of right-wing politicians; from Reagan to Romney. After the defeat of 2012, the impact on government at national and state levels has grown more severe. The margin for gain (politically or financially), for anyone, is rapidly disappearing. The up-coming "judicial circus" in Florida over the murder of an un-armed black teenager by a gun-toting non-black, is an ordeal we have to brace ourselves for.
Time to get together and work to get rid of this?? I have experienced sobbing white parents who despair that their children become tainted by racial attitudes, no matter what they do. Every new wave of immigration to this country sends the pattern whirling with new intensity. Mixed-race children in this country find their problems are more severe today than they were for those "passing" citizens in times past.
None of us make conscious choices in this matter. The conditions of our births make the determination. Once we reach adulthood, we can overcome those conditions if we choose. To succeed, the church and Hollywood (and cable-TV) have to be confronted. It has been noted that religion and markets became the drivers of world affairs after 1979. Visual Media is the major purveyor of our behavioral cues. The churches and organized religions fuel the media. Continuing to turn a "color-blind" eye toward this phenomenon is pure insanity!
