Yup. It's how the Roman Empire and the British Empire operated. We would be fools to believe that ours would operate any differently.There has been a fear of a race war since the Haitian Slavery Revolution and was the "delay" for not eradicating slavery at the time and a whole lotta don't want to do the work myself.
That said, there actually was a time period when race tensions weren't bad.........both blacks and whites were indentured servants meaning that at some point they would become free. They lived together, had sex, and had children and were neighbors. Racism was created. Whites couldn't be enslaved as they all looked alike. Native Americans couldn't be enslaved as they knew the landscape too well. Tag.
The laws changed and then came the justification.

Racism continues to exist as a distraction from what is really going on. At the bottom of every BS episode between blacks and whites or whites and blacks against immigration is a lack of jobs. People pretend that there are no middle class black people and everyone lives in a ghetto. But, there is. Right now it is as if there is no economic opportunity for blacks and things would change if there was and this is intentionally being kept from them. The problem is that everyone is fighting over scraps. Racism is convenient.
Sure you're going to have your down right ignorant white people. Not a damn thing can be done about them. But, if there is no focus on the lack of good paying jobs then not a damn thing changes.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head.....nothing more need to be said.
