"A caste system builds rivalry and distrust and lack of empathy toward one's fellows. The result is that the United States, for all its wealth and innovation, lags in major indicators of quality of life among the leading countries in the world."
Let's remember this when we contemplate our city public schools, health care system, high incarceration rate, high maternal mortality rate when compared to rich countries.

In America, news outlets feed audiences a diet of inner city crime and poverty so out of proportion to the numbers that they distort perceptions of African Americans and of societal issues as a whole... Af-Americans account for 59% of the poor people depicted in the news. White families make up 2/3 of America's poor, at 66%, but account for only 17% of poor people depicted in the news.

The scapegoats are blamed for a crime rate that they alone do not cause and for drugs that they are no more likely to use than the dominant caste, but for which they are incarcerated at 6 times the rate as whites accused of similar offences. .and.. behind bars for having been in possession of a substance that businessmen in the dominant caste are now converting to wealth in the marijuana and CBD industry.
