A Spreading, and "Universal" Question??
It tumbles, readily, off the lips of many (mostly white, of late?) "Talking Heads in today's MEDIA.
It would seem, to anybody with some THINKING capability, the the ANSWER to this question DEPENDS on who is asking it; who they think "WE" are; and who they think "THEY" are!!
Very few people THINK! in this MEDIA age of Mass Propaganda, disguised as NEWS!
In an AGE touted for "Communication"; there seems to be much more "sending" than "receiving", and little or NO concern for UNDERSTANDING. We live in a world of MOUTHS, without EARS, or BRAINS. And, then there is the VIDEO; considered to "say it all' when it actually is just another, much more powerful MOUTH, spewing MISUNDERSTANDING with wider dimensions.
This question may be asked from the vantage points of Religion, National Origin, Economic Status, Skin Color, Language Spoken, "Culture"; ... the list of "identifiers" seems endless. Ever since Nixon devised the Census BOXES for identifying all citizens of the United States by race and ethnicity, the country has been locked in an intractable spiral of social "death", in which past experiences and values have little or no import. "Being" is everything; while "relationships" are as fleeting, ubiquitous, and meaningless, as a "click" on a computer "mouse"!
Stay Vigilant! We may ALL be "down this rabbit-hole", with no means by which to regain our sanity?
