Racist Politicians

I have experienced racism my whole life, and I hate it. I wish we lived in a world where we saw each other as equals, I really do.  But after years of watching how the right-wing has been rising worldwide, and after watching how these overtly racist politicians fuel the flames of racism so that they can benefit from it politically, it all really sickens me. 
I don’t believe that these opportunists politicians know, or care about the damage they cause with their tactics. It seems like they could care less about how their hatred emboldens other white supremacists who then terrorize people of color who are forced to live with the abuse, the threats, and the violence. 

These racist politicians do not care about the mental health issues, the anxieties, the depression, or the stress related health issues, high blood pressure problems they help provoke.  They do not care about most people, but they clearly do not care about the well being of people of color who are forced to live their lives, just taking in the abuse condoned by these same racist politicians. 

Catch 22

People of color have the choice they can either fight back or ignore the abuse. One reason people think twice before fighting back is that there is always the threat of jail, and so if they do not want to end up going to jail with the possible added risk of losing their jobs and not being able to pay their rents, and even more seriously complicating their lives. 

These same people usually out of fear for further consequences usually choose to walk away, and ignore racists and their hurtful words and actions. These victimized people usually end up swallowing this anger. They must find alternative ways to deal with all the anger and all the injustice. They more or less are simply expected to live with this “Institutionalized Racism” that seems invisible, or all too normal to others, who are comfortable and not affected. 

Oppressed groups are even critized for how they choose to protest injustice. When police shoot African-Americans they are only adding to the continued genocide that started over 400 years ago; and African-Americans wishing for the terror at the hands of the police to stop, are critized by insensitive and racist people for not “Staying in their place,” as if they are supposed to forever bow down to white supremacy. 

Racist politicians and their loyal followers seem to wish for these oppressed people to just shut up and live with it, and they wish them to stop bringing up the past, because Euro-Americans especially hate being reminded of the true manner in which their country came to be. The U.S. for example, is not a land made up of immigrants, it is a country build on genocide, stolen land, theft, slavery, exploitation plain and simple, and this can apply to many countries in the so-called Anglosphere and other former european colonies. 

Racist politicians do not care about the young men being incarcerated for long periods of their lives, so that they do not reproduce, because after all that is their main eugenic objective, that and feeding the Prison Industrial Complex. 

Fueling the Flames

Racist politicians will help blame marginalized populations for all of societies ills, when in reality these marginalized people are the same people whose countries have been torn apart and exploited by the countries with the stronger economies that the poor are now fleeing to. 

But the citizens of these european countries, and their colonial offshoots are blind to this fact, and would rather just worry about their own frustrations or short comings and blame all that is wrong in their lives on people of color or minority groups. 

Instead of doing some research and finding out why the world is the way it is, and how it all works, and who this system serves and instead of tackling real issues affecting us all as a human species e.g. climate change. The oligarchs, politicians and the media continue to turn us on each other. It keeps the game going and makes things easier for them.
