Sorry for repeating myself but this needs to be said.

Most Republicans and quite a few Democrats are pushing for the social stratification of America, along racial and economic lines.

Almost every white American is here because their white ancestors ran away from a stratified society. By advocating for social stratification here, they are in effect saying that their ancestors were wrong to come here.

They should have accepted their place in that already-stratified society. 
 @6b3caab6 It seems they DO accept it. 
 @3967703f 
Indeed, which, again, is incredibly hypocritical. Obviously, their ancestors didn't accept it and tried to change it, while they work to actively undo that just because racism makes them feel good. 
 @6b3caab6 Hypocritical is not the word. FUCKING MORONIC is more like it. 
 @6b3caab6 @3967703f you’re right. 
I often think maybe there is an organized movement forcing us into slavery so the 1%s and take it all.
