No they bring up Japanese internment camps everytime someone mentions walls and deportations. To be fair the chinese were not slaves, they just got paid an extremely low wage. They died on the job a lot because it was dangerous but no one 'owned them' or could sell their children.
You mean aside from pretty much the entire party leadership right now? The Tea Party completely hijacked the GOP right after Obama's election in 2008, and they've been charging to the right and coasting on the evangelical, corporatist, and white supremacist votes since. Trump himself, THE guy currently running the GOP shitshow, has a huge white supremacist base.

Michele Obama, a member of the ruling elite, if she had a conscience she would have realized the absurdity of getting up in front of an audience of people who had just been screwed over by a rigged political system, and then brow beating them 'into line'. How progressive it is that black people can now be slave masters, that a black president can betray the fundamental values of liberalism and then go on to reap a massive paycheck for his complicity in the endless cycle of corruption. I wonder what people will think when Barack Obama makes hundreds of millions of dollars after being president, maybe more people will realize that the mantra of 'hope and change' was really only skin deep.
Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why is everyone bringing up Slavery again? So our nation has a shady past, gratz, so do most of them. If you'd all let the whole thing die then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal every time someone brings up something that happened in the past. Race has been a problem, but when you're "insert life here" mattermovements cause violence and death you are part of the problem. To borrow from peaceful leader MLKjr “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” The more we perpetuate all this hate, the more hate will come of it all.
Calling Michelle Obama the ruling elite, what the what? You must of lost your mind, she is just the wife of a president, she doesn't have rule over anything. This entire paragraph stinks of conspiracy theories and an over active imagination and fear of people with money, like being successful makes you evil.
thanks.
I look at where we were and where we went and it feels like the initial point she made is bullshit about doing just one thing better. It feels like often it went like doing one thing better and making one thing worse. And something with making it better just had a bad effect as well. But i think that fits Barrack Obama he did one thing well and the rest he made worse or kept the status qou.
What it should be doing something better without making things worse.
As for the second part, guess my response was very valid to what she said. In a way though doesn't what she said ignore all the white people that helped improve the lives of the blacks?
we've already learned from it. that's the thing.
all of this now is just whining about evil whites instead of dealing with your own problems. live in a ghetto? evil white man's fault. can't even walk down the street for dangerous gangs? evil white man's fault. step back and have some self reflection there's a problem in your so-called "culture" that's breeding this kind of horrible shit.
i know what whites have done, i also know you're not even the worse persecuted people in the americas. go talk to the like 20% of native americans that are left alive, living on reservations that are pretty fucked. but y'all don't care about that, you care about yourselves and what you can get from scream "muh evil white mans, muh racisms" when they hardly exist in any significant way anymore.
Think your taking ruling elite to literal. The ruling elite sort of takes into account the bush and clinton family because of their constant influence andhaving multiple family members been presidents or high status in goverment.
But i also think Big corperations are part of it with the lobyist element. And this is where Michele Obama fits in, she's in a lot of interest groups that are involved in policy and influence.
