"Cracking The Code(s)
The latest TIME (3Feb/14), features an article by Suketa Mehta, entitled: The Superiority Complex. Drawing heavily from a new book by Amy Chua and Jed Rebenfeld, she cites eight "groups" as "superior" in terms of "success" in the United States: Asians, Cubans, Jews, Nigerians, Indians from INDIA (not Native-Americans), Mormons, Iranians, and Lebanese. Claiming this to be the new "racism" for our new century, Mehta notes that these are broad categorizations that also include a lot of abject financial failures.
Not unlike the "scientific racism" that was so popular among whites at the beginning of the 20th Century, this 21st Century run at racism is gaining ground in places that would be under control of the "usual suspects". Those "suspects" seem now to have "cornered" the wealth in this country. Only proper "organization" by the non-wealthy and the non-racist can cure the problems we face as a nation.
Technology must also play a part in any "cure". The Big Money people; (the likes of Romney, and perhaps, Christie; who know the coercion and oppression that wealth can enable, when coupled with the right mix of "thuggery") have to be "overcome". Current powerful "institutions" like organized religions and "education" establishments must also be overcome. What they do today serves the "status quo"; perpetuating the racism, classism, and economic oppression we have known for the past one hundred years or more.
The poisons of old are rapidly spreading into Red states in this country. The "rot" at the root of politics and power in the United States today (to see it up close, follow one of our Red-Neck politicians back to one of their Hell Holes and observe how they treat their poor and non-white citizenry) must be extinguished by people who value truth and knowledge instead of the pseudo-science of the Religious Right, and, now, a "new superiority" of a "Group of Eight" coercive "Superiors", as identified by Chua and Rebenfeld. The wealth gap in this country is huge, and the organizing skills of those who succumb to it have to be massively improved.
For the past 100 years, the Elites have neither needed nor valued "education" for their own use, and have permitted several generations of their own people to fall far behind the skill levels of many non-whites; both here and abroad. That gap cannot be overcome in less time that that of several generations. Today, the wealthy have demonstrated that they can "buy" all the "smarts" they don't possess, and can get it cheaply! It remains to be seen whether, what Peter Drucker called the "knowledge-worker" can get up off hisor her knees and control the wealth their knowledge produces. So far, they have been too easily enslaved. BIG MONEY can also get all of the creativity and inventiveness it lacks from the gifted poor; for FREE!
Stay Vigilant! Get Together, and Figure Out how to master BIG MONEY!; (and rabid religions??)
