Yes. You are right about rampant racism and its effects. The stupidity to which I refer is that given Republican denial of climate change, wealth may “save” you to a certain point, but after that you cannot eat hard currency. (Time to put nutrients in paper?)

Yes, but the wealthy know that they, their children, and probably their grandchildren will be able fo find places to live in comfort and very probably luxurious comfort all their lives, no matter how bad the planet gets. The rest of us, not me (I’ll be dead) but my grandchildren almost certainly, will find themselves struggling in a Mad Max world or worse. I’m doing all I can to prevent that but don’t think it probable that I will succeed. The wealthy, helped by the racist votes of the white working class, will continue to keep the world running on fossil fuels for fhe duration.
Rex-you’ve captured our American problems in a nutshell! If only people could see how they’ve been conditioned to accept racism. It’s one of the best tools the wealthy have used even before the Southern strategy-Bacon’s Rebellion in the 1600s led to the invention of race justified by religion, science, social relations and especially economic greed.
Do you think “white” people will ever see through the fallacy of race?
Yes. White people under 40 are much less racist, on the average, than older white people. Under 30, even better. There is hope. The question is, will we get a critical mass of decent human beings in the US before Republicans convert the government to a white autocracy and politically emasculate the rest of us.
