As you can see, being on top is what is going to get you anywhere. Hold down the oppressed so the "powerful", or "chosen" people can follow through with thier profits. What makes money is profits. This seems to be the Imperialist motto. Hold down whoever tries to gain power, so we can rip them off so the white buisness man can buy himself yet another Lincoln.

I find it very sad that this is what this country has been doing all along just to get ahead. It is true that the poorest countries are actually the richest to the U.S. These so called poor countries have so many raw materials to offer, and many workers who seem willing to work for low wages. Of course to the U.S. this all seems fine, because we are offering jobs to these worthless people, and helping thier economy, but instead we are making things just a little worse. The economy in these countries do not go up. Am I surprised? No. Why would this country actually help countries in Indo China, or South America, when it wont even respect the people that live in it's own country.

I have to admit I was amazed by what was written about blacks, and how we must stop being racists because we are allowing the Imperialists to win. I agree with this. I believe that even Welfare was created to keep the poor down. It seems as if it was a tool to help, but it is also a fact that once your on welfare it's hard to get off it, and not only that, welfare only gives a certain amount of money, which isn't going to get anyone rich. The trick is, take it out of the hardworking man's pocket, and get him to go against the man on welfare. So the country keeps these people on welfare and nothing comes out of the rich man's pocket. The other catch is, it makes it seem like this country cares so much for it's minorities, and would like to appoligize for everything it has done to oppress them. It's a little hard to end racism when the working man often becomes bitter with the people on welfare. If this country wants to give money to the poor, it shouldn't be taking it from the middle class man's pocket. It's ingenious. I totally beleive that as long as racism remains, and people don't start to get together, people will remain oppressed, and the buissness man wins.

It's incredible to find out that the goverment you have been living under for 20 years is yet more corrupt then they have teaching us about other countries. This country is responsible for so many things that we don't know. It's seems like, if you want to be the powerful, you have to step on anything that gets in your way, and abuse anything that will help keep you there.
