  1. What you say is not untrue. They do sacrifice themselves for racism. Not consciously. That's not what they think they're doing. They're just being too stupid to notice that THAT is in fact the game being perpetrated on them. I'm not saying this to defend them, though I'm "white". Frankly they annoy and piss me off infinitely. But, to the point. still they are oppressed. They are exploited and abused. I've had conversations with poor whites and expecting them to go off on racist BS regarding black crime and instead they were saying mostly this: "Everyone pays attention to cops treating black people badly but they treat us badly also, as do the Courts. If you're white and POOR being white doesn't help you much." Ok, that's true from their perspective. I believe that being white still they are being treated less badly than blacks are treated, on the average. But the point stands. that they are being abused. I think they may be more dulled-down than you realize. You perceive them as active and conscious participants in maintaining racism. I think that in many respects for many of them they are active but unconscious participants. Of course there are plenty of dedicated racists who are very conscious of what they're doing and they have very clearly bad intent and evil motives. It's like in here people often complain that "black people don't stand up, won't unify, are asleep," etc. I'm saying the same thing about whites. Most workingclass whites do NOT see the privilege they have due to racism. They've been taught that whatever blacks are suffering is their own fault. When these whites are abused. then they complain, but if the abuse is economic they're also well brainwashed to believe that everything is great, the system is fine. it's all luck or the will of God or something. They're thoroughly befuddled. Bamboozled!
