The elite believe wholeheartedly in eugenics. BTW they want a total world population of only 500 million, so they aren't after only minorities...

True, but the worlds population growth is coming almost totally from minorities. The vast majority of the worlds people would be classified as "mionorities" in America.

To add some commentary to various previous posts.

1) Indians were indeed taken as slaves. In fact, Sacajawea may be the only slave to grace US currency. She was enslaved by rival Indians (a not uncommon practice) and sold to Charboneax. There are MANY references to slavery by Indians in historic documents, it's just not a popular fact.

2) There are an estimated 100,000 slaves CURRENTLY in the US. Mostly asian and eastern europeans lured to the US and forced into the sex trade. They busted a ring like this less than 2 miles from my house a couple years back (massage parlor using chinese gals, prostitution). I hope they give the bstrds that ran it the electric chair.

There are lots of good things about the USA and lots of very bad things also. I think the worst thing of them all is the propensity in the USA for exploitation. There seems to be a current of, "Get the most out of those people for the least possible cost". Never mind the horrific problems this causes the country now and in the future. Never mind the crushing load placed on the oppressed person. It's greed, greed, greed and more greed and damn the fallout.

The current cop of labour bashing imbiciles that have been elected want to turn back to a time when exploitation had a better name. Back to when the working man knew his place and thanked his betters for allowing him to be poor, living in a hovel with lousy food, poor clothing, no healthcare, extreme high infant death and all those other third world conditions these friggin idiots think are necessary to keep them in the lap of luxury.

however, can we talk about white slavery?? children, underage girls, being sold on the hood by the thousands, nightly, 99.9% by black pimps? like last night.
Forced prostitution and underage prostitution is dealt with by law enforcement when they get the evidence needed to arrest those running those rings. So white slavery isn't being ignored.

The poor have *always* been exploited by the powerful, and when large labor pools were needed, steps taken to make sure they were around. It's hardly anything now. The American experiment of changing that has actually gone rather well. But the forces of tradition are very hard to overcome. That its even a subject is something that would surprise people in past times.

We seem to have constant 'swings' between one and the other and that is perhaps our strength, that neither ever *really* gets to take absolutie control.

They are subtle, patient, and relentless. Let's rejoin this discussion 20 years from now and see how things are shaping up. If we're still here of course...

I just finished watching the 90-minute PBS documentary. Very worthwhile. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths some will go to to exploit and steal the fruits of the labor of their fellow humans. It's something we always have to be on guard against, because, as we know, history moves in cycles.
