Racism is America’s original wedge issue and for 400 years, the oligarchs have been fine-tuning their use of it to manipulate our poorly educated. Today, (with the power of corporate personhood, the best propaganda machines in history, and plenty of people who are bad at learning) racism is making a comeback. Without racism, the oligarchs that took people to be their slaves could not have maintained their status quos, and all the oligarchs that followed over the centuries have extracted incredible wealth and power by employing racism. Racism in commercial and social media is a doubly strategic threat in that it acts as a distraction from the negative externalities of the oligarchs AND inspires people to listen to the likes of Trump. Racism is to our society what corporate personhood is to our democracy. They are both fictional concepts used to benefit the oligarchs while doing things adverse to our citizens’ rights and our communities interests.
