Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Saw this amazing video about Karl Marx's Theory Of Alienation, in capitalism, and I thought I'd share it here. It's important that working class people understand this theory. Everything the capitalist ruling class does, they do for a reason. And it's ALWAYS only for profit, power, and exploitation.
