Savant's words

But obviously more knowledgeable than yourself. All this isrrelevant as a reply to my post# 1041. If you'r able to read, go back and read that post and then make a relevant reply instead screed which is really just a lengthy display of the Fallacy of Red herring. By the way, your posts now CONFIRM my view that yuo've NO knowledge of historical materialism. Apparently, no knowledge of the ideas of people like Nkrumah, Cabral, Ture or others who, whatever their limitations, had a deep enough knowledge of the nature of IMPERIALISM not to become an a___ kissing apologists of eitheer of the two capitalist parties of the USA.

I'm not so sure about that. Racism today is not always so overt as was traditional in the past, or as is common with more extreme (or stupid) racists today.

As Michelle Alexander points out in THE NEW JIM CROW, racism today often speaks in CODE, in language that is ON THE SURFACE even race-neutral, but which is deeply racist beneath the surface.

And as political scientist Robert C. Smith seems to be illustrating (in CONSRVATIVSM AND RACISM), there's a much more deep seated interconnection between American racism and consrvatism than we are usually aware. Indeed, the two seem inseparable in American history and culture (though this may be true in every other naiton). 
Even consider patterns of alliance. Why did SONE find it so compelling to defend the likes of that Nazi "pos" in th thread DR. KING'S LEGACY & the OCCUPY MOVEMENT? I've seen her and others who, like herself are not OVEERTLY racist in language, comfortably in alliance with people who are EXPLICITLY and OVERTLY racist, like "pos", Ohreally and others. Mere coincidence?
