I've been watching "The Man in the High Castle" lately. The talk of
school reminds me a scene I saw just last night where they were quized on
how many slaves George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owned, and how that
melded into the scene where whites were obviously superior to any other.
I'm surprised that there wasn't one mention of capitalism in this article.
I mean, you cannot have privilege without some kind of political support,
and, in this country, that's capitalism. (In Cuba, with its own racism,
it's placement in the communist party.)
