Now of course,I am not going to suggest that capitalism alone is responcible for the imoverishment of black Americans of today,nor those hardworking blacks of yesterday.The fact of the matter is, that racial descrimination on behalf of whites has,and still does,play a huge role,in the continuing scourge of black poverty.If you are an honest white person who has been beyond your own back yard, you know this to be true,because you like me,know full well what gets said and done behind the closed/locked doors of rooms inhabited by whites of all ages and socioeconomic status.
Untill people of all races,ability,education,financial status,creed and faith are allowed to share of the abundance of the earth,no person nor people will know true prosperity nor freedom.

Thank you to Dr.Watkins for allowing me to share my thoughts on your site.

Unity amongst the poor and downtrodden is just another kind of army-building, and that leads to warring. We have plenty of US vs THEM warring (class warring) happening right now. No need to build more armies. The only unification that could possibly work… is the unifying of EVERYONE… in a FLAT system where all are treated fairly and equal (communalism). That would require the elimination of anything being tugged-over in the giant tug-o-war called capitalism, which is a get-a-leg-up pyramid scheme. What are the “devices” being tugged-over? Money and entitles of ownership… which all relates to CONTROL. Money doesn’t really have entitles of ownership, and thus, it really can’t be owned… but most USA (capitalist-) folk are bought into the belief that it CAN be.

What if everyone quit using economies (money, ownership, price tagging)… and instead used a moneyless socialism such as that used by the US military supply system (requisition forms handed-out freely and no ownership, only custodianship)? What if EVERYONE was a member of the government… and a police officer to boot? Big government? Love it. Lets throw in a mentor/storyteller skill, too. What have you got? An “elder” figure in a Native American tribe (commune), correct? Wisefolk.

Not a single other living creature on the entire planet… uses economies. Why do capitalists? We all see the pyramid scheme symbol on the back of the USA dollar… and we know its Columbian Freemason. We know that the USA gov resides in a district of COLUMBIA and is not part of the USA proper. Why do we deny that economy usage and OWNing causes rat-racing servitude-infested pyramid schemes? Its right in front of our noses! We force the USA 18 yr olds to join the competer’s church (the free marketeers pyramid scheme)… OR STARVE… OR ELSE. That’s felony extortion and forced religion. And do we see any Chicago mob-like “pay up or lose your wellbeing” going-on in capitalism’s pyramid scheme? RAMPANT!

All we have to do is own-up to a few things, and then we will realize that economies and pyramiding just will not work. Just like the childhood pyramids we failed miserably-at… the upper kids are heads-in-the-clouds while the kids on the bottom are crushed. Pyramids ALWAYS collapse… always will. They get too top heavy from too many… trying to “get a leg up” on each other and on the self-created cost-of-living (surviving).

Its all about spirography… what goes around… comes around. Issue a bunch of invoices/bills/demands, and it comes back into your own mailbox. Issue a bunch of giving and love, and it comes back too. That happens because the tip of each spirograph petal (each person)… is a loop, not a point. All giving… handed-on. All billing, handed-on, loop, loop, loop, home. No matter which way you start the spirograph gears rolling (billing or giving)… the pen ALWAYS, EVENTUALLY, returns to its starting place. Spirography. Get to know me!

So, own-up to pyramiding, and own-up to the wisdom and morals of FLAT, FAIR, PURE EQUALITY (the attempted policies of childhood schools and churches… everyone treated the same, capitalist or not)… and we’re on our way to more sanity. Abolish economies and ownership. Use custodianship. Build repairable and re-usable. Follow the rules used by the USA military for delineating a luxury from a necessity… and build a flat commune. After all, communication, communion, community, the very best things in all of humanity… are based upon the word ‘commune’. GET to know it instead of being unfoundedly fearful of it. You’ve not yet seen “communALism” in all of history. Why not give it a try? Turn OFF the racing system and try sharing.

Best Regards!

White population in U.S.A 80% x 300 million

Black population in U.S.A 12% x 300 million

Yet, our country still bickers about racial issues when poor people of all races are suffering from the same economic and poitical descrimination. We must unite poor and middle class people of ALL races to stand up for reform, and in time, the disparity between Black people and White people will even out.

Good article. You have a talent for breaking complex ideas down. A news article on this subject was buried on page 6 of the Wall Street Journal today. It should have been on the front page in my opinion. Regardless of the cause, this is clear evidence that we are going in the wrong direction as a society and need to start figuring out some answers. However, I disagree with the idea that white liberals are going to flee if Obama starts hitting racial issues. What are they going to do? Vote republican? It has a lot more to do with keeping moderates on board. Said moderates could be black or white because, as you pointed out, Obama is not exactly hitting a home run in the black community. In fact his policies are hurting the working poor and lower middle class in general. The working poor just happen to be a larger percentage of the black and latino community than the white. The only boat this tide is lifting is people who had money to begin with. At least with ‘trickle down’ there was a CONCEPT of money trickling down. Now we don’t even have that anymore. Unity among all working poor and lower middle class is the only answer. It’s time to start watching each others backs.
