Brown is the new Black! Touché again Mr. Spivey! In reality Poor is the new Black. It always has been but since oligarchs need useful idiots to help them achieve their ultimate goal of enslaving US poor folk they had to start somewhere. Why not have us do the work for them. Thank you for your valuable, much appreciated contributions.

Unfortunately, like some of us, too many of them refuse to believe “Brown is now the new Black” because they have been also affected by the illusion of inclusion. Don’t know what it’s gonna take to escape the plantation. If both groups want to play the game, they need to adopt the Lord Palmerston quote: “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.”

Bout sums it up. Everyone needs to be wary and watchful now. We are on Fascist's Play Book Chapter Three. "Designate and Separate." Next comes Chapter Four, "Contagion Casting."

In South Africa , there was a class of Colored, which included East Indian merchants. Ghandi started there, developing his ideas of non-violence,

and then went “ home”- to a much tougher crowd.

My colonialist relatives and history decided that the people descended from the indigenous nations before mass invasion by Europeans are today labeled "hispanic".

"Native American" has been seized as the discriptor of indigenous people of the current USA. It is just as apt for indigenous people from the Arctic Circle to the Straits of Magellan.

Why "hispanic" even if their native language is not Spanish? Because to recognize the rights of the owners of their sovereignty would be to upset the European Supremacy.

Nativism, racism, religious oppression, domination are all historical elements of worldwide imperialist ambitions afflicting every human.

And don't make the mistake of thinking you have been granted whiteness. Those who grant it can even more quickly whisk it (and you) away.
