The government/corporate fascist system spends a lot of time and money to insure that not only does racism exist but that it is constantly supported and reinforced.
This situation in Ferguson is a perfect example. The vast majority of the news coverage is on the minority of people who are looting instead of the huge majority who are peacefully protesting injustice.
Why?
Because they want to use this incident to increase white peoples fear of black people. They want to support any prejudice they may already have and to create fear and prejudice in people who may not have any.
The government and corporate interests do everything possible to keep the people divided by race, by religion, by politics, by sex, by State, by economic status, and by every other means possible to drive wedges between people and to keep them from uniting to stand up against the people who repress and exploit them.
The sad part is the ignorant people fall for it time after time after time.
Humans, to a certain extent, are naturally racist. You identify more closely with people who are of the same race as you.....big deal.
For example, if a Black guy was watching 2 athletes that he knew nothing about, say 2 boxers having a boxing match. One of the boxers is Chinese and the other is Black.......which boxer do you think the Black guy is going to want to win, if not openly cheer for??????
Humans naturally want to feel superior to others, ego is natural. One way to do this is to identify with your specific racial group and cheer their accomplishments, big deal.
Racism is a lot like sexism.....men and women want to feel superior to each other.
