(8,843 posts)Discrimination is a thing of the past. Look how far we have come. All of that is no longer valid.
The reality is that the struggle continues and not only is it real but we are witnessing a huge effort to roll back the progress that has been made.

(65,420 posts)When white people say "Trump is putting America first," they mean that America equals white people, and they applaud Trump deporting and suppressing everybody who is not white.
But "white" has a broad definition in the minds of various Trumpsters.
White people from Anglo-Saxon Protestant backgrounds interpret "white" as exactly that. However, many Latinos consider themselves to be white and interpret Trump's words to include them. People from southern European backgrounds (who are often not considered white by WASPs), hear themselves included in Trump's words. Apparently many Muslim American voters think Trump will defend them against the "non-white" Jews. And so forth.
Brilliant propaganda. Trump managed to appeal to certain people from all ethnic backgrounds while promoting a deeply racist agenda that, somehow, every bigot from every background saw themselves included in.

(457 posts)Republicans want workers to shut up,
work for low wages, and with little to no benefits,
work for whatever days and/or time of day that THEY demand.
Republicans want workers to be ‘on the edge financially’ ,
To keep ALL workers without bargaining power
Republicans don’t want workers educated,
Republicans need workers to take care of Republicans,
the wait staff at restaurants, their house cleaners,
The yard maintenance, the farm workers, the mechanics,
The SERVICE workers needed to keep the wealthy Republicans
“happy”!
Republicans DO NOT WANT AN EDUCATED KNOWLEDGEABLE workers.
As George Carlin has said….. THEY only want workers with barely enough
education to run the machines that help the wealthy
