..is rascism not a factor of the class system? I wouldn't want to speculate about America's problems but i don't imagine it's that different, the reason white people move towards right wing or even fascist politics is because they are disenfranchised in the first place. which also relates to sexism is suppose, politically and economically helpless, but filled with the survival of the fittest propaganda of the society they turn on people they can excercise power over. Basically what everybody else has been saying, but from a different point of view. Essentially i don't think society manipulates situations, it creates them and doesn't know how to handle them so they just increase the police powers.
