We're all black people now according to the way the super-rich view the world.

That's interesting. Not only was it a way to keep Blacks as a permanent underclass, but an effective tool in siphoning off middle class youth as well, widening the economic gap and placing more power and money in to the super rich's hands.

Encourage those who are more susceptible to the propaganda in to putting more emphasis on immediate gratification and consumerism.

Monkey A buys drugs and expensive clothes then raps about it to a trendy instrumental - Monkey B, C and D buy drugs and expensive clothes instead of saving money.

virtuoso:

They are devious devils, extremely intelligent, but their behaviour can only be likened to devilish, they are destructive sick psycopaths. You raise a good point there, monkey see, monkey do once a trend is set others will want to follow so that they too can hope to emulate and that's all it is, hope built on fresh air, an illusion of wealth. We know that a lot of these rappers wealth is just a mirage, and sadly people buy into that image.

This didn't surprise me when I read it, as I have lived the experience of the prison industrial complex and now I am learning the actual statistics and reasons for it. This system is set up to make money off of people, and it turns out the war on drugs is the biggest feeder to the prison system. So many people of color, Latinos and blacks, are being put in jail for non-violent crimes and they are then set up in a system of no return. Once you get felon on your record, you have no job prospects anymore. It's been proven Latinos and black are already at a disadvantage when it comes to work prospects, so the system is set up for people to keep coming back.

Now we no longer just deport undocumented immigrants. Your tax payer dollars are keeping people here so that private prisons can make money off these people. Private prisons were a system that started in the 80's, in fact my father was asked if he wanted to invest in a prison set up by some of his "Christian" friends. The idea is that the government will contract you to keep prisoners, all while you profit off the labor, like licence plates or a number of other things. Basically the government pays the prisons to house the prisoners, then pays the prisons for the goods and services (fire fighters and clean up crew) that are produced. These prisons are getting paid double from holding people.

It's the perfect business because you can abuse these people and no one will care. People hate criminals and they think of these people as different and less than human. The reality is, the vast majority are in for non-violent crime, usually drug position. Also minority communities are targeted, even though study after study show whites are more likely to use and sell drugs, it's the minority communities that are targeted which causes violence in the streets between rival gangs and cops and it becomes a war. Also, jail was ORIGINALLY a place to rehabilitate a person who could comeback to society and hopefully they wouldn't repeat their crime. Well a felon has over an 80% chance of going back to prison, which defeats the purpose of rehabilitation. We need alternative methods to dealing with non-violent criminals. After all, if this was really about a war on drugs, why not have a raid on a college campus on any given Friday night, or high school football party after a game? This is about more than drugs.

Which is why these so called black community leaders are also devils. They don't. Give a fuck about anyone they simply position themselves to exploit any kind of even perceived fringe racism. As for the war on drugs being a sick joke I only have to look at soldiers walking through poppy fields and not burning them to the ground to understand that. Or if that was not damming enough look at how the criminality of HSBC laundering billions in Mexico drug money was met with essentially a ruling that they needed to give back a small percentage of those profits.

Oh, there is no question that's true. Al Sharpton has always been about getting himself in front. In fact it was many black leaders who pushed for harder crack laws in the 80's at the beginning of the War of Drugs. There has been a movement around minority communities which turns in our own youth into the system and makes it almost impossible for them to survive. This plan was laid out in the 80's, at the time many my age were just being born, and many my age were the first to go through this at the dawn of Gangsta Rap. I'll never blame the music, as it was very reflective of the times, but people got caught up and glorified the culture they saw on TV and tried to be like X-Raided, Spice 1 and Lil' Rob.

"We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup"
