Who cares about "hard working" white people?
Not the politicians and policy makers. That's for sure -- no matter what they tell you.

Here is an excellent video by Tim Wise on how our identity as "the white race" came about and how "whiteness" was exploited in order to dominate both white and black workers.

Well worth watching and sharing.

2. PBS had a documentary a few months ago, they traced the oldest DNA
in a search for a common human ancestor. They finally settled on some dude in one of the Stans; I forgot which one as having the world's oldest DNA. When they hold him all of humanity sprang from his family tree trunk, he grinned from ear to ear.

I believe everyone is family but separation, adaption to various environments and subconscious and or conscious selective breeding over the eons have led to the superficial differences of race.

6. Interesting.
That area of the world brought us much. The Empire Builders have rapped and pillaged those "stan" countries for their resources. Just think what we are missing to solve many of our problems in this world because they are too busy killing and destroying.

Peace and prosperity is just that. People all over the world just want to live a peaceful life with their families. The elite few won't allow it.

Iraq was the center of creativity and innovation in the beginning of man. Strange they want to end it there. They robbed their museums and banks but no one holds them accountable.

4. Divide and conquer.
They don't care about any of us. They are self serving.

5. Very good information about how the elite conquer and divide.
I have been very suspicious of the demographic language used to catorgerize the voter. I see it as an emotional spoon used to stir up all kinds of insecurities. Or the fact that Hillary is a cold so and so. She cried- so she is weak. Racism and Sexism don't let them devide us.
