blackagendareport.com - White Man’s Wars, Past and Present: "Racism is the engine that makes the rich man's world go ‘round. Majorities of white people of all classes identify with their moneyed-brethren, and can be counted on to rally to the racist banner. Such is the case with the U.S. offensive in the Middle East, and the villlianization of Muslims in general. 'Eternal war' is now American policy, but it is a war that has gone on without end for half a millennium, since the Europeans 'discovered' new regions for rape and pillage in 1492.

Tell that to the 95 percent of indigenous Americans who died when the Europeans arrived, or the tens of millions of Africans whose societies were totally destroyed by the slave trade. And tell it to the one million Iraqis who have perished in the current war. Racism is the engine that makes the rich man's world go ‘round.
