We need to look into overall structures of power before looking at single instances of its misuse - examples of which can be found in all communities, be they white, black, male, female, straight, gay, etc.

a) its not white against black, it seems to be rich white male vs everybody else.
b) this is not quite as simplistic as I am allowed to say it for time. Besides, Einstein said nothing is worthing discussing if it cant be explained to a bar maid at a night out...that is why I simplified,
c) its not there are not other issues, it is just that we haven't quite solved this one. just as we need to look at all structures, we must not overlook the most impacting and long lasting ones. According to the longue duree, racism is perhaps the most impacting concept in history, and the most directly involved in our present society.
d) I keep pulling 'this card' because it seems relevent every time since it is challenged to begin with, which implies a lack of resolution.
