You've got that right, Ivan.

Many powerful Democrats go out of their way to ensure that their core constituencies never get ahead.

Democrats get their most loyal voters from minorities who feel oppressed and the poor. If there was racial harmony, their monolithic support from the first group would vanish. If there was widespread prosperity, there would be fewer people in the latter group.

The Democrats have a vested interest in keeping racial strife abundant, in spreading proverty and economic despair, and generally spreading misery.

It's the same here with Labour. Nothing gets me more angry when I see some Labour politician telling ethnic minorities that they cannot succeed without voting socialist. Nonsense. No one succeeds by voting socialist - that is the recipe for failure. People succeed when they are determined to succeed and persist until they do. To say anything else is a lie. A destructive lie which oppresses far more than anything the Right has ever said.
