      Also its likely not just black Americans being conspired against by these US institutions, likely other minority groups in addition, but yes definitely black Americans.

        Not just minority groups, they are conspiring against all poor people no matter their race. The divide against the haves and have nots in growing daily.

          Along with the volume of ‘‘don’t you hate Mexicans? Don’t you hate these black folks looting stores in packs of 20? Humm? Better start killing your neighbors and ignoring your boss making 700% of what you make!’’ They are all roots of the same tree.

        this aint a race thing… it is a class thing. If you are working person, then yes the private and public mega orgs are conspiring to impoverish you while extracting value of your labor.

          Its also a class thing, but for many of the worst offenders out there, its absolutely a race thing.

          One of he biggest objectives of white supremacy is misdirecting poor white peoples complaints into black Americans so they aren’t both together fighting the owner class. So you can’t even discuss class issues in the US honestly if you don’t even understand why these dynamics exist.
