The latest attack happens to be on Somalis, called “garbage” by the president. But people from all over the world have been attacked, harmed, even killed by agents working for the U.S. to supposedly get rid of “illegal” immigrants who are criminals. It is just the current lie of the current government, to make the majority hate some minority, to distract us from the reality we face every day by giving us some other enemy. Remember the lie that Haitians in Ohio were eating pet dogs? (That’s exactly what the Wizard of Oz explains in the movie “Wicked”—people must have an enemy to hate if they are to be unified.)
Hating other people is an old, old tactic by politicians, used repeatedly. Of course, the U.S. gained its founding fortunes on the back of indentured and enslaved peoples. Certainly, the attitude of most white people at the time of slavery was that black people and indentured servants were less than human. Then, as capitalism grew in the 19th century, the U.S. bosses wanted a ton of immigrants to enter the country as laborers. But for those already living in the U.S., they were told that Irish men were a bunch of drunkards, Italians were a bunch of criminals, Finnish or Jewish people were dirty, some other group of immigrants was lazy. It was all lies to make an enemy for people to hate, a diversion from hating the bosses and the politicians.
It’s up to us whether we figure out that we are all the same, in a fight for our futures against a tiny minority, or let them divide us so we cannot fight back.
