Racist" = "WHITE" supremacist
We use "white supremacist "rather than "racist" because the white
supremacists have reversed the meaning of the venerable sixties
rhetorical term "racist" in the public dialogue to use it mainly to
slander Black people as "racist" or "reverse racist." Hopefully , "white supremacist" will be more difficult to twist.
Aubery : "Charles, spoken like a person who understands what the word "racist" actually means. Some Caucasians would like people to believe that People of Color can be racists. Not true.
This, in my opinion, is merely another deflection tactic. I suppose it is spawned by guilt and shame, but nevertheless, it does not change the meaning of the word. In order for one to be RACIST one would have to wield power, control over governing bodies and institutions. We know that it is Caucasians who have this control.
Certainly, some People of Color may be biased, prejudiced or bigots, just as anyone else in society. IThank you for understanding the importance of language."

Following are articles on the life expectancy and wealth statistics.
LIFE EXPECTANCY At birth, AIAN and Black people had a shorter life expectancy compared to White people, and AIAN, Hispanic, and Black people experienced larger declines in life expectancy than White people between 2019 and 2021. Life expectancy at birth represents the average number of years a group of infants would live if they were to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates prevailing during a specified period. Provisional data from 2021 show that overall life expectancy across all racial/ethnic groups was 76.1 years (Figure 14). Life expectancy for Black people was only 70.8 years compared to 76.4 years for White people and 77.7 years for Hispanic people. It was highest for Asian people at 83.5 years and lowest for AIAN people who had a life expectancy of 65.2 years. Life expectancies were even lower for Black and AIAN males, at 66.7 and 61.5 years, respectively. Data were not available for NHOPI people. Overall life expectancy declined by 2.7 years between 2019 and 2021, with AIAN people experiencing the largest life expectancy decline of 6.6 years, followed by Hispanic and Black people (4.2 and 4.0 years, respectively), and a smaller decline of 2.4 years for White people. Asian people had the smallest decline in life expectancy of 2.1 years between 2019 and 2021. These declines largely reflect an increase in excess deaths due to COVID-19, which disproportionately impacted Black, Hispanic, and AIAN people.

The Lancet: Disparities in life expectancy persist among racial and ethnic groups across the US New study offers the first comprehensive, county-level life expectancy estimates in the US and highlights important differences among racial and ethnic groups. The analysis reveals that despite overall life expectancy gains of 2.3 years (from 76.8 years in 2000 to 79.1 years in 2019) during the 20-year study period (2000–2019), disparities among racial and ethnic groups remain, with Black populations still experiencing shorter life expectancy than White populations.
Life expectancy among the American Indian/Alaska Native population did not improve during the study period. During the last 10 years of the study (2010–2019), life expectancy growth was stagnant across all races and ethnicities, setting the stage for declines in life expectancy that have been reported since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s interactive data visualization tool shows the life expectancy trends by racial and ethnic group in 3,110 counties in the 20-year span of the study.
How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists New dataset identifies the causes of today’s wealth gap
October 3, 2022 AUTHORLisa Camner McKayWriter/Analyst, Institute
Jake MacDonald/Minneapolis Fed Article Highlights New dataset tracks evolution of racial wealth gap from 1860 to 2020 Racial wealth gap today is legacy of vastly unequal wealth for Black and White Americans following Civil War Racial wealth gap has been stagnant for last 40 years due to differences in Black and White households’ wealth portfolios How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists
“He felt his poverty; without a cent, without a home, without land, tools, or savings, he had entered into competition with rich, landed, skilled neighbors. To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.” —W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk
The dawn of emancipation in the United States saw 4 million former slaves, 90 percent of the Black American population, gain their freedom. But they did so in poverty, as Du Bois describes: A few years prior, they had been counted as wealth, earning and owning nothing in their own name.
After emancipation, proposals to provide former slaves with land so they could survive economically were largely defeated. Thus in 1870, the wealth gap between Black and White Americans was a staggering 23 to 1. That's equivalent to just $4 of wealth for Black Americans for every $100 for White Americans.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” —MORITZ KUHN
Fast forward 150 years and that gap has narrowed to about 6 to 1—and yet, a significant gap remains: average per capita wealth of White Americans was $338,093 in 2019 but only $60,126 for Black Americans.
In the new Institute working paper “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860–2020,” former Institute visiting scholar Ellora Derenoncourt and colleagues Chi Hyun Kim, Moritz Kuhn, and Moritz Schularick study the evolution of the Black-White racial wealth gap to understand how it has changed and what forces drove those changes.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” Kuhn said about one motivation the author team had for undertaking the research. Drawing on numerous historical resources, the economists construct a new dataset that fills in around 100 years of missing wealth data, from the 1880s to the 1980s, when modern surveys of wealth began. They then use a model of wealth accumulation to investigate the sources of the wealth gap. So where does wealth come from? Yesterday’s wealth, mostly. Unlike income, which can change quickly—lose a job, take a new job—wealth builds slowly from interest on previous wealth and new savings from income. For that reason, “it takes a lot of time to build wealth and to close an existing wealth gap, especially if the world around you is not stopping to accumulate wealth,” Kuhn said.
The economists’ analysis suggests that, more than 150 years after the end of slavery, today’s racial wealth gap is the legacy of very different wealth conditions after emancipation. While the White-Black income gap has narrowed over time, differences in Black and White Americans’ capital gains rates and savings rates throughout history have slowed the convergence (closing the gap) between Black and White wealth.
The result: An enduring wealth gap that shows no sign of resolving. “It was interesting for us to see how extremely persistent the racial wealth gap is. We saw a lot of things changing in the U.S. economy in the last 70 years, but the racial wealth gap seems to be pretty ignorant of all that,” Kuhn observed. Evolution of the racial wealth gap Tracing 150 years of the racial wealth gap1 reveals rapid early progress followed by frustrating stagnation (Figure 1). Dawn of emancipation: 1870 to 1900 The thirty years following emancipation saw rapid narrowing of the racial wealth gap, falling from a ratio of 56 to 1 in 1860 on the eve of the Civil War to 23 to 1 in 1870 following emancipation and 11 to 1 in 1900. (In 2019 dollars, that comes to average wealth of $34,000 for a White American and $3,100 for a Black American.) White slaveholders’ loss of slaves as “wealth” explains about a quarter of this convergence. The rest was due to a higher wealth accumulation rate for Black Americans than White Americans.
This convergence, however, is more a matter of statistics than reflection of meaningful economic or political change. Because Black Americans’ wealth was so low in 1870, even small gains translated to big percent increases in wealth and thus large reductions in the wealth gap, even though the difference in the amount of average wealth held by Black Americans and White Americans remained large.
Unfortunately, an early period of rapid wealth convergence was relatively short lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves ultimately failed, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed.
Unfortunately, this period of rapid convergence was relatively short-lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves, such as General William Sherman’s field order allowing freed slaves to establish 40-acre farms on federal land, ultimately failed to garner sufficient political support, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed. By 1900, a racist economic and social order was largely restored.
Racist resurgence: 1900 to 1930 Between 1900 and 1930, the racial wealth gap narrowed tepidly, at a rate around 0.3 percent a year. During this period, Black Americans’ share of national wealth stayed fairly constant, at 1 percent (Figure 2). “Barriers to Black economic progress were pervasive in the post-Reconstruction era,” the economists observe. For instance, Black Americans had limited access to financial institutions or credit; they had little opportunity to purchase land; they experienced the violent destruction of their property; they faced widespread discrimination in education and the labor market. In the South, the vast majority of Black farmers were renters or sharecroppers in an economic system that hindered Black workers’ economic progress because White landlords were able to capture their tenants’ improvements to the land simply by not renewing the lease.
Global upheaval: 1930 to 1960 Wealth convergence picked back up modestly during this period, and by 1960 the gap was 8 to 1. (In 2019 dollars, that translates to average wealth of $76,000 for White Americans and $9,000 for Black Americans.) A closer look at the timing reveals this does not appear to be the result of New Deal economic relief or new social insurance policies, which tended to exclude sectors with large representations of Black workers. Rather, labor market dynamics around the time of World War II led to Black workers moving into higher-paying occupations, notably related to war production and defense, which reduced the racial income gap and led to greater gains in Black Americans’ wealth. This movement was facilitated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802, which banned “discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin.”
Civil rights: 1960 to 1980 The civil rights movement was responsible for the fastest period of racial wealth convergence since 1900. Tireless efforts by Black activists to demand equal rights and protections led to the passage of numerous laws that reduced social, political, and economic discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and expansions to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which sets federal minimum wage policies.
These legislations helped narrow the racial income gap, which in turn narrowed the wealth gap; it fell from 8 to 1 in 1960 to 5 to 1 in 1980. Figure 2 shows that Black Americans’ share of national wealth started increasing more rapidly in 1960 even as the total U.S. population of Black Americans was also increasing.
Stagnation: 1980 to 2020 And then—convergence stopped. In the 40 years between 1980 and 2020, the racial wealth gap actually increased by the equivalent of 0.1 percent a year. The reasons for this stagnation are discussed in the section “A widening gap: The role of capital gains” below. Unequal initial wealth, unequal wealth accumulation The next step in the economists' research is to analyze the causes of the racial wealth gap. To do this, they engage in a thought experiment: What if Black and White Americans started with the radically different levels of wealth in 1870 that they did in real life, but their wealth accumulation rates were identical after that? The resulting wealth gap in 2020 would be about 3 to 1 ($100 dollars of White wealth for every $33 dollars of Black wealth). That’s about half of what the actual wealth gap is today, suggesting that unequal levels of wealth in 1870 are a major source of today’s racial wealth gap.
The fact that today’s racial wealth gap is larger than it would be under this optimistic scenario is due to unequal wealth accumulation rates, which of course haven’t been identical for White and Black Americans, as the brief history above of political and economic exclusion makes plain.
Wealth accumulation can be described as a fairly straightforward equation. It starts with yesterday’s wealth and the interest earned on that wealth (capital gains rate). Add to that new savings from income, which is the product of yesterday’s income level, how much income has changed (income growth rate), and how much of that income is saved (savings rate).
While historical data on these rates is difficult to come by, since at least 1950, White Americans have enjoyed a higher average savings rate and capital gains rate than Black Americans (see Table 1). Table 1. White and Black Americans' savings and capital gains rates
Source: Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick, “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860-2020.” White Americans (%) Black Americans (%) Average savings rate 5.0 3.9 Average capital gains rate 1.0 0.8 What drove wealth convergence, then? The income growth rate. The economists estimate that the average annual income growth rate for Black Americans was larger than that of White Americans from 1870 to about 1980. At that point, income convergence stalled; over the last 40 years, the annual income growth rates for Black and White Americans have been essentially the same. A widening gap: The role of capital gains Now that income convergence has stalled, the difference in the capital gains rate experienced by Black and White households is the main factor pushing their wealth apart. The role of capital gains is particularly important here. The high rate of return to capital holdings over the last 40 years—economic parlance for “stocks have really gone up a lot”—is a leading cause of the wealth dispersion in the United States today. According to analysis by economist Emmanuel Saez and others, wealth has become significantly more concentrated during this period: In 1980, the richest 0.1 percent of Americans—about 160,000 households—owned 7.7 percent of national wealth. In 2020, they owned 18.5 percent. “Given that there are so few Black households at the top of the wealth distribution,” Derenoncourt and co-authors write, “faster growth in wealth at the top will lead to further increases in racial wealth inequality.” And that’s what’s happening now. On average between 1950 and 2010, Black households held about 7 percent of their wealth in stock equity; among White households, it was 18 percent (Table 2). The portfolios of White households are also more diversified than Black households, which are concentrated in housing wealth. Housing has appreciated since the 1950s, but stock equity has appreciated five times as much. Table 2. White and Black households' wealth portfolio composition Note: Equity refers to wealth in stocks and mutual funds. Liquid assets include cash, checking accounts, and savings accounts. Other nonfinancial assets include household items like cars or boats. Source: Survey of Consumer Finances 2019 and calculations by Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick. White households (%) Black households (%) Housing 38 59 Business 24 13 Equity 18 7 Liquid assets 17 13 Other nonfinancial assets 3 8 “At a more general level,” Kuhn stated, “this research emphasizes how important portfolio choice and investment behavior is. It’s not only about putting money aside, but where you put it.” <

That doesn’t mean every white person has a longer life than every Black person , but rather on average it is so; same with the other categories mentioned. <
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANY INHERENT OR BIOLOGICAL OR MORAL OR CULTURAL INFERIORITY OF BLACK PEOPLE. RATHER IT IS THE RESULT OF GENERATIONS OF WHITE SUPREMACIST ENSLAVEMENT, JIM CROW ANDD REAGANITE OPPRESSION AND EXPLOITATION OF BLACK PEOPLE, IT IS UNJUST LY ND ILLEGITIMATELY SEIZED WHITE “SUPREMACY”, WHITE MORAL INFERIORITY
Following are articles on the life expectancy and wealth statistics.
LIFE EXPECTANCY At birth, AIAN and Black people had a shorter life expectancy compared to White people, and AIAN, Hispanic, and Black people experienced larger declines in life expectancy than White people between 2019 and 2021. Life expectancy at birth represents the average number of years a group of infants would live if they were to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates prevailing during a specified period. Provisional data from 2021 show that overall life expectancy across all racial/ethnic groups was 76.1 years (Figure 14). Life expectancy for Black people was only 70.8 years compared to 76.4 years for White people and 77.7 years for Hispanic people. It was highest for Asian people at 83.5 years and lowest for AIAN people who had a life expectancy of 65.2 years. Life expectancies were even lower for Black and AIAN males, at 66.7 and 61.5 years, respectively. Data were not available for NHOPI people. Overall life expectancy declined by 2.7 years between 2019 and 2021, with AIAN people experiencing the largest life expectancy decline of 6.6 years, followed by Hispanic and Black people (4.2 and 4.0 years, respectively), and a smaller decline of 2.4 years for White people. Asian people had the smallest decline in life expectancy of 2.1 years between 2019 and 2021. These declines largely reflect an increase in excess deaths due to COVID-19, which disproportionately impacted Black, Hispanic, and AIAN people.

The Lancet: Disparities in life expectancy persist among racial and ethnic groups across the US New study offers the first comprehensive, county-level life expectancy estimates in the US and highlights important differences among racial and ethnic groups. The analysis reveals that despite overall life expectancy gains of 2.3 years (from 76.8 years in 2000 to 79.1 years in 2019) during the 20-year study period (2000–2019), disparities among racial and ethnic groups remain, with Black populations still experiencing shorter life expectancy than White populations.
Life expectancy among the American Indian/Alaska Native population did not improve during the study period. During the last 10 years of the study (2010–2019), life expectancy growth was stagnant across all races and ethnicities, setting the stage for declines in life expectancy that have been reported since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s interactive data visualization tool shows the life expectancy trends by racial and ethnic group in 3,110 counties in the 20-year span of the study.
How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists New dataset identifies the causes of today’s wealth gap
October 3, 2022 AUTHORLisa Camner McKayWriter/Analyst, Institute
Jake MacDonald/Minneapolis Fed Article Highlights New dataset tracks evolution of racial wealth gap from 1860 to 2020 Racial wealth gap today is legacy of vastly unequal wealth for Black and White Americans following Civil War Racial wealth gap has been stagnant for last 40 years due to differences in Black and White households’ wealth portfolios How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists
“He felt his poverty; without a cent, without a home, without land, tools, or savings, he had entered into competition with rich, landed, skilled neighbors. To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.” —W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk
The dawn of emancipation in the United States saw 4 million former slaves, 90 percent of the Black American population, gain their freedom. But they did so in poverty, as Du Bois describes: A few years prior, they had been counted as wealth, earning and owning nothing in their own name.
After emancipation, proposals to provide former slaves with land so they could survive economically were largely defeated. Thus in 1870, the wealth gap between Black and White Americans was a staggering 23 to 1. That's equivalent to just $4 of wealth for Black Americans for every $100 for White Americans.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” —MORITZ KUHN
Fast forward 150 years and that gap has narrowed to about 6 to 1—and yet, a significant gap remains: average per capita wealth of White Americans was $338,093 in 2019 but only $60,126 for Black Americans.
In the new Institute working paper “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860–2020,” former Institute visiting scholar Ellora Derenoncourt and colleagues Chi Hyun Kim, Moritz Kuhn, and Moritz Schularick study the evolution of the Black-White racial wealth gap to understand how it has changed and what forces drove those changes.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” Kuhn said about one motivation the author team had for undertaking the research. Drawing on numerous historical resources, the economists construct a new dataset that fills in around 100 years of missing wealth data, from the 1880s to the 1980s, when modern surveys of wealth began. They then use a model of wealth accumulation to investigate the sources of the wealth gap. So where does wealth come from? Yesterday’s wealth, mostly. Unlike income, which can change quickly—lose a job, take a new job—wealth builds slowly from interest on previous wealth and new savings from income. For that reason, “it takes a lot of time to build wealth and to close an existing wealth gap, especially if the world around you is not stopping to accumulate wealth,” Kuhn said.
The economists’ analysis suggests that, more than 150 years after the end of slavery, today’s racial wealth gap is the legacy of very different wealth conditions after emancipation. While the White-Black income gap has narrowed over time, differences in Black and White Americans’ capital gains rates and savings rates throughout history have slowed the convergence (closing the gap) between Black and White wealth.
The result: An enduring wealth gap that shows no sign of resolving. “It was interesting for us to see how extremely persistent the racial wealth gap is. We saw a lot of things changing in the U.S. economy in the last 70 years, but the racial wealth gap seems to be pretty ignorant of all that,” Kuhn observed. Evolution of the racial wealth gap Tracing 150 years of the racial wealth gap1 reveals rapid early progress followed by frustrating stagnation (Figure 1). Dawn of emancipation: 1870 to 1900 The thirty years following emancipation saw rapid narrowing of the racial wealth gap, falling from a ratio of 56 to 1 in 1860 on the eve of the Civil War to 23 to 1 in 1870 following emancipation and 11 to 1 in 1900. (In 2019 dollars, that comes to average wealth of $34,000 for a White American and $3,100 for a Black American.) White slaveholders’ loss of slaves as “wealth” explains about a quarter of this convergence. The rest was due to a higher wealth accumulation rate for Black Americans than White Americans.
This convergence, however, is more a matter of statistics than reflection of meaningful economic or political change. Because Black Americans’ wealth was so low in 1870, even small gains translated to big percent increases in wealth and thus large reductions in the wealth gap, even though the difference in the amount of average wealth held by Black Americans and White Americans remained large.
Unfortunately, an early period of rapid wealth convergence was relatively short lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves ultimately failed, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed.
Unfortunately, this period of rapid convergence was relatively short-lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves, such as General William Sherman’s field order allowing freed slaves to establish 40-acre farms on federal land, ultimately failed to garner sufficient political support, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed. By 1900, a racist economic and social order was largely restored.
Racist resurgence: 1900 to 1930 Between 1900 and 1930, the racial wealth gap narrowed tepidly, at a rate around 0.3 percent a year. During this period, Black Americans’ share of national wealth stayed fairly constant, at 1 percent (Figure 2). “Barriers to Black economic progress were pervasive in the post-Reconstruction era,” the economists observe. For instance, Black Americans had limited access to financial institutions or credit; they had little opportunity to purchase land; they experienced the violent destruction of their property; they faced widespread discrimination in education and the labor market. In the South, the vast majority of Black farmers were renters or sharecroppers in an economic system that hindered Black workers’ economic progress because White landlords were able to capture their tenants’ improvements to the land simply by not renewing the lease.
Global upheaval: 1930 to 1960 Wealth convergence picked back up modestly during this period, and by 1960 the gap was 8 to 1. (In 2019 dollars, that translates to average wealth of $76,000 for White Americans and $9,000 for Black Americans.) A closer look at the timing reveals this does not appear to be the result of New Deal economic relief or new social insurance policies, which tended to exclude sectors with large representations of Black workers. Rather, labor market dynamics around the time of World War II led to Black workers moving into higher-paying occupations, notably related to war production and defense, which reduced the racial income gap and led to greater gains in Black Americans’ wealth. This movement was facilitated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802, which banned “discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin.”
Civil rights: 1960 to 1980 The civil rights movement was responsible for the fastest period of racial wealth convergence since 1900. Tireless efforts by Black activists to demand equal rights and protections led to the passage of numerous laws that reduced social, political, and economic discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and expansions to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which sets federal minimum wage policies.
These legislations helped narrow the racial income gap, which in turn narrowed the wealth gap; it fell from 8 to 1 in 1960 to 5 to 1 in 1980. Figure 2 shows that Black Americans’ share of national wealth started increasing more rapidly in 1960 even as the total U.S. population of Black Americans was also increasing.
Stagnation: 1980 to 2020 And then—convergence stopped. In the 40 years between 1980 and 2020, the racial wealth gap actually increased by the equivalent of 0.1 percent a year. The reasons for this stagnation are discussed in the section “A widening gap: The role of capital gains” below. Unequal initial wealth, unequal wealth accumulation The next step in the economists' research is to analyze the causes of the racial wealth gap. To do this, they engage in a thought experiment: What if Black and White Americans started with the radically different levels of wealth in 1870 that they did in real life, but their wealth accumulation rates were identical after that? The resulting wealth gap in 2020 would be about 3 to 1 ($100 dollars of White wealth for every $33 dollars of Black wealth). That’s about half of what the actual wealth gap is today, suggesting that unequal levels of wealth in 1870 are a major source of today’s racial wealth gap.
The fact that today’s racial wealth gap is larger than it would be under this optimistic scenario is due to unequal wealth accumulation rates, which of course haven’t been identical for White and Black Americans, as the brief history above of political and economic exclusion makes plain.
Wealth accumulation can be described as a fairly straightforward equation. It starts with yesterday’s wealth and the interest earned on that wealth (capital gains rate). Add to that new savings from income, which is the product of yesterday’s income level, how much income has changed (income growth rate), and how much of that income is saved (savings rate).
While historical data on these rates is difficult to come by, since at least 1950, White Americans have enjoyed a higher average savings rate and capital gains rate than Black Americans (see Table 1). Table 1. White and Black Americans' savings and capital gains rates
Source: Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick, “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860-2020.” White Americans (%) Black Americans (%) Average savings rate 5.0 3.9 Average capital gains rate 1.0 0.8 What drove wealth convergence, then? The income growth rate. The economists estimate that the average annual income growth rate for Black Americans was larger than that of White Americans from 1870 to about 1980. At that point, income convergence stalled; over the last 40 years, the annual income growth rates for Black and White Americans have been essentially the same. A widening gap: The role of capital gains Now that income convergence has stalled, the difference in the capital gains rate experienced by Black and White households is the main factor pushing their wealth apart. The role of capital gains is particularly important here. The high rate of return to capital holdings over the last 40 years—economic parlance for “stocks have really gone up a lot”—is a leading cause of the wealth dispersion in the United States today. According to analysis by economist Emmanuel Saez and others, wealth has become significantly more concentrated during this period: In 1980, the richest 0.1 percent of Americans—about 160,000 households—owned 7.7 percent of national wealth. In 2020, they owned 18.5 percent. “Given that there are so few Black households at the top of the wealth distribution,” Derenoncourt and co-authors write, “faster growth in wealth at the top will lead to further increases in racial wealth inequality.” And that’s what’s happening now. On average between 1950 and 2010, Black households held about 7 percent of their wealth in stock equity; among White households, it was 18 percent (Table 2). The portfolios of White households are also more diversified than Black households, which are concentrated in housing wealth. Housing has appreciated since the 1950s, but stock equity has appreciated five times as much. Table 2. White and Black households' wealth portfolio composition Note: Equity refers to wealth in stocks and mutual funds. Liquid assets include cash, checking accounts, and savings accounts. Other nonfinancial assets include household items like cars or boats. Source: Survey of Consumer Finances 2019 and calculations by Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick. White households (%) Black households (%) Housing 38 59 Business 24 13 Equity 18 7 Liquid assets 17 13 Other nonfinancial assets 3 8 “At a more general level,” Kuhn stated, “this research emphasizes how important portfolio choice and investment behavior is. It’s not only about putting money aside, but where you put it.” <
Racist" = "WHITE" supremacist We use "white supremacist "rather than "racist" because the white supremacists have reversed the meaning of the venerable sixties rhetorical term "racist" in the public dialogue to use it mainly to slander Black people as "racist" or "reverse racist." Hopefully , "white supremacist" will be more difficult to twist. Aubery : "Charles, spoken like a person who understands what the word "racist" actually means. Some Caucasians would like people to believe that People of Color can be racists. Not true. This, in my opinion, is merely another deflection tactic. I suppose it is spawned by guilt and shame, but nevertheless, it does not change the meaning of the word. In order for one to be RACIST one would have to wield power, control over governing bodies and institutions. We know that it is Caucasians who have this control. Certainly, some People of Color may be biased, prejudiced or bigots, just as anyone else in society. IThank you for understanding the importance of language." /// CB: Hell no there is not Black privilege in America. Jerry : "Why not?" CB: It's a white supremacist society , meaning Black people are second class citizens . And no Obama getting elected Prez doesn't refute that . In fact , Obama was treated like a second class President, more proof of the claim. Jerry : Charles Brown, so you you can’t move to any neighbor your money can take you? You can’t just walk into an Apple store and make a purchase with being told you’re not welcome? You can’t go to any school your grades take you? CB: Those things don't come close to making up for all the white supremacy . In every statistical category of quantity and quality of life -life expectancy , wealth/ income , health, educational attainment , living in raggedy neighborhoods , et al. -white people are superior ( thus white supremacy/ Black lack of privilege) on average. That's the result of a white supremacist society never equalized since slavery. White supremacy was passed on through inheritance to the present. Thus , we live in a white supremacist society , still - the exact opposite of Black privilege . It is in the definition of white supremacy that it oppresses Red , Yellow Brown, and Black workers ; it's obvious. What is not obvious is that white supremacy ultimately keeps white workers chained , too. That's the hard one for most white workers to get since on the surface white supremacy gives white workers an advantage over other nationalities . But it prevents the workers from uniting and fighting the Bourgeoisie. Importantly, the lie is white supremacy. The races based on skin color were established by Europeans over the last 500 years of conquering the globe with white as superior to all other colors, and ruling over them by force of arms. https://radicaldiscipleship.net/2017/07/05/white-supremacy-overt-covert/ Wolves in sheep's clothing: victimizers pretending to be victims.

Randa : "I do not care what you call it - White supremacy Nazis White devil Ku Klux Klan Forked-tongued serpent spirit of antichrist If you have eyes and ears you should be able to see and hear it for what it is." Skin color is inborn , but not correlated with the poor traits white supremacy claims it is. The richer wealth associations with white skin are economic , political and historical , not genetic. Got to look to history , not biology as to why white people have more money on average. That's pretty much the whole story of race difference. Bad biology was used for fraud about race for a couple of centuries coming from white supremacist "biologists". "Caucasian Mountains is an inaccurate location of "white" origin. Blumenbach's ideas are discredited by modern biological anthropology . Give me white supremacy or give me death : (Video) Soybean Farmer: I’ll Stand With Trump “To The Death” https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/video-soybean-farmer-i-ll-stand-with-trump-to-the-death-Yo5zmBH5Hkq4NjO5csyUzg/ Racism = white supremacy: have to say this because the main racists nowadays accuse Black people fighting racism of being "racist." That's one of the really twisted forms of racism , Penelope. The hate of the victims of white supremacy for white supremacists is righteous indignation ; and it's morally and politically superior to Instagram's white supremacist community standards . white supremacy is a dominate force in this society. Black bias against white people is a response to the enormous oppression and exploitation of Black people for the entire history of the US up to the present. It is defensive and self-protective. The minority of white people who voted for Obama did strike a historic blow against racism , like the white Union Army soldiers in the Civil War. But like Jim Crow after the end of slavery , the white majority took steps backward in electing the openly racist Trump; as when the racist Reagan was elected going backward from the Civil Rights movement gains. There's this zig-zag pattern wherein when gains against racism and for equality are made , a majority of whites take it back some. The FRONTlashs from the beginning have been by whites . The Black people do BACKlash, which is not morally equivalent of the FRONTlash, and definitely doesn't justify another FRONTlash by whites. To deny that white people are racist is what's horrible and disgusting" /// Someone had said : "Charles Brown I disagree. Racism against white people is just as bad as racism against black people. They're both wrong and are not borne out by the facts. I worked for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. If it weren't for white people, he would not have won anything. There simply weren't enough black votes to elect him. So to call these white people racist is horrible and disgusting. It white people are racists, then the black racism against whites justifies it. It polarizes America. That's not good. Just like Bernie Sanders. 80% of the white people I work with are like you. I voted for Bernie, but he's white chauvinist in pandering to the racist industrial workers . Obama saved all the autoworker AND steel workers' jobs when he saved the auto companies. Trade deals do NOT harm industrial jobs anywhere near what the trade union propaganda claims. The steel and auto workers were looking for an excuse to hate Obama because they are racists . Bernie pandered to that white supremacy. 2015: "As we say, that white boy busted the cop wide open. Only white people can end white supremacy, cause white people will only listen to white people generally, mostly, majorly, white supremely . And the end of white supremacy is in the first place, a change in the conduct of white people; they will listen to other white people before they will listen to Black people about changing.<

<
We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy. The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total of productive forces as rapidly as possible.<
Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionising the mode of production. These measures will, of course, be different in different countries. Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.<
1. __Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes__.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. <
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.<

False equivalence of Dems and Reps is a dogmatic Left error <
CB : Not equally committed to war now . That’s importantly wrong at this concrete period . Obama had already explicitly reversed the Bush bellicose doctrines . Democrats FDR , LBJ, OBAMA were _not_ phony populists . Working class won major reforms through them. It’s infantile leftism to maintain the US working class has won no significant reforms in 90 years . You all might as well give up if the working class hasn’t won anything in 90 years . The right wing Bourgeoisie moving in desperation to fascism should prove that the mild Obama reforms are a real threat to the ruling class . The right wing Bourgeoisie are openly , blatantly trying to discard majority rule , prevent the majority from voting . Obama peace treaty with Iran blocks the next big war the military-industrial complex had planned . There can be no war with China because of Mutually Assured Destruction. Tensions with Soviet Union were sharper than today , and there could be no war. There will be no war with China despite all the saber rattling. Economic imperialism of course ; but Leninists support peaceful competition between different social systems ; socialist China is proving to the world the superiority of socialism in peaceful competition. False equivalence of Democrats and Republicans is now for 20 years a severe error of the infantile left . respinding to the following : "No both parties are really committed to imperialism, the opposition to the CIA and forever wars on Trumps part was just the same phony populism as you get with many US politicians."

21st Century ultra-lefts rhyme with 20th Century ultra-lefts Lenin criticized <
Lenin's Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder (1920) argues that communist parties must combine legal and illegal work, participate in bourgeois parliaments, and work within reactionary trade unions to gain mass support, rejecting the "infantile" ultra-left, sectarian, and dogmatic refusal to engage in tactical compromises. @ Key Aspects and Outline: • Context: Written to guide international communists, primarily in Germany and Britain, by applying lessons from the three Russian revolutions. • Core Critiaue: Lenin labels the reiection ofCore Critique: Lenin labels the rejection of parliamentary work and trade union participation as "left-wing" childishness, which isolates revolutionaries from the masses. • Key Arguments: • Flexibility & Tactics: Revolutionaries must utilize all legal, illegal, parliamentary, and non-parliamentary means to reach the masses. • Working within Trade Unions: Communists must not abandon reactionary unions but work within them to win over workers. • Parliamentary Participation: Refusal to participate in parliaments is a "childish" error; they should be used as a platform for propaganda. • Compromises: Not all compromises are opportunistic; Communists must distinguish between those that serve the revolution and those that betray it. • Discipline: The importance of ironopportunistic; Communists must distinguish between those that serve the revolution and those that betray it. • Discipline: The importance of iron discipline and centralized leadership within the party (Bolshevik model). • The "Infantile" Element: The tendency to mistake personal desires for objective reality, leading to a sectarian, "pure," but powerless movement. • Goal: To move beyond the initial, inexperienced phase of Communist parties to build a mass base capable of taking power. * Introduction to Lenin's<<

Abolish the fascist Republican Party
Abolish the fascist Republican Party
Labor Power
Monday, October 12, 2020 Abolish the fascist Republican Party Republican Party has cheated to oligarchic or minority rule through gerrymandering , stealing Supreme Court appointments and minority Presidents . They follow Mussolini's fascist principle :
"After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage...."
https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/mussolini-fascism.asp
We must focus on the class aspect in our most fundamental definition of fascism. Fascism is open terrorist rule by the most reactionary , racist and bellicose sections of finance capital . The Republican Party represents those sections of the bourgeoisie . It is threatening and executing policies with respect to social programs that will _foreseeably_ result in premature deaths of 10,000's just as certainly as if they were machine gunned. The Republican accelerated round up of immigrants , threats to expel Dreamers and others , racist threat against African and Latin immigrants equal the Nazis treatment of Jews in the early years of the regime before the holocaustic level of killing. There is no premature anti -fascism by name . The President has spoken in support of openly Nazi marchers.
Furthermore, the American fascist tradition is the KKK. The KKK had fascist rule in sections of the US before Italy (!) . The KKK is a core constituency of the Republican base . David Duke regularly endorses Trump's actions. Republicans have leaders like Roy Moore, who says life for Black people was better in slavery. The Attorney General is a political twin of Moore. Statues of Confederates litter the Southern landscape and rock star Kid Rock waves a Confederate flag in downtown , 85% Black Detroit.
The NRA is also a rightwing militant and armed core group of the Republican base. And another unique feature of American fascism, I'd say , is libertarian fascism. Unlike the European state centered "well ordered " police forces, America has individualist killers doing mass shootings. This is libertarian fascism para-military to the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is a fascist party. However , even though it holds most government offices , we don't have a fascist government (yet; there is no premature anti-fascism) because of the historical luck that the Republican President is at war with our secret police and spy agencies , the FBI and CIA; and the President is a Russian agent, of sorts ; he stumbled into it. We can't rely on that not changing; we have to warn the people. There is no premature anti-fascism.
How could I forget. The Republicans are also mounting an effort to destroy the trade unions : work-for -less law iin traditional labor union stronghold Michigan, Supreme Court potential blow , Trump attacking.
President supported a Nazi march in which a woman was murdered !
"Fascism" must be used rhetorically , not based on the identity between the current situation in the Republican Party and the fascists in Europe in the 20's and 30's. If we had warned of "fascism" in the time when it actually arose, the term would not have aroused much alarm because fascism had not become what it became : fastest big murdering system of all times. Terms like tyranny, barbarism and savagery had to be used to get people's attention . Of course , technically it was not tyranny, a system in Ancient Greece. But because of the rhetorical need the term was used non-technically. Similarly with fascist today. History does not repeat itself , but it does rhyme sometimes.
On the other hand , on the technical point, the Republican Presidential contenders all represent the most racist , bellicose, reactionary sections of finance capital. Trump threatens open terrorist rule against specially despised national and racial groups. Bush launched aggressive , unprovoked war against Iraq, a Crime Against Peace, which Hermann Goering was sentenced to death for at Nuremberg.So, Republicans are right on the edge with meeting the technical definition . There is no premature anti- fascism
Republican Party is a fully , openly fascist party now.
Someone says : "The republicans are planning to kill thousands more veterans by yanking life-support and healthcare out from under them. They have to know what they're planning will kill that many, but they just don't care.
The GOP core belief seems to be that if you can't work and pay taxes through working, you do not have a right to life -- even if you lost that ability fighting in one of the pointless wars they started. This is eerily similar to the "euthanasia program" the nazi's were operating in Germany right before the war. The elderly, the chronically ill and infirmed, the maimed (many of whom were veterans of WWI) were sent to "free" clinics to be treated. They were actually murdered, either with gas or an injection, and their survivors would receive a letter reporting about how they died from pneumonia or some other cause. Sometimes the remains were returned, sometimes they weren't."
June 2016 I said , Some like me call the Republican Party fascist, way past a whiff. "Populist"-fascist . Capable of open terrorist rule , especially targeting racial minorities , representing the most reactionary , chauvinist , bellicose sections of finance capital; there is no premature anti-fascism.
CB : Yea better to use "fascist." Fascism started and got its name in Italy. There was fascism in Spain , too. Republican Party has Italian Fascist characteristics like minority rule or oligarchy .
Joe : "I understand the word Nazi is overused, and used poorly, often. Until they kill so many innocents as Hitler did Jewish people, nobody will be in the league with Hitler.
But NOT using the word out of deference to extremist sensitivities, or out of political correctness, clearly benefits whatever group is MOST LIKE the fascists referred to. There's no doubt about that.
And if any group shares the methodology of fear-mongering, racist nationalism, and politically weaponized xenophobia, it is of the utmost importance that ordinary people recognize it. That because the modern GOP seems to use a similar tool set, and they are very active right now.."
Bull: the Republicans are the liars , cheaters , thieves , unAmericans , not the Democrats. False equivalence of Dems and Reps helps the fascist Republicans.
AMERICANS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
AMERICANS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Republicans are a bunch of lying demagogues, tellers of half-lies, prevaricators.
We must get rid of the GOP ! We must get rid of the GOP 1
Like the old, old Whig Party, the ole, ole Republican Party has got to go, go, go onto the garbage heap of American history. It gets worse every day ! Every damn day , some stupid Republican says something fascist , just beyond the pale , unconscionable. There's a rightwing insanity epidemic in the tea Republican Party.
https://take10charles.blogspot.com/2015/03/americans-for-abolition-of-republican.html?m=1 <
No both parties do _not_ work for the same bosses ! Vote Democrat !
Republicans used to pretend that they hate tariffs , Russians , bailouts , budget deficits and debts: the Grand Ole Party of Liars only cares about getting more of the total amount of money in the system to the rich, the One Percent , the One capitalists , who already have most of it; and beating down the 99% economically and socially. This is socioeconomic fascism.
And budget deficits and debts: the Grand Ole Party of Liars only cares about getting more of the total amount of money in the system to the rich, the One Percent , the One capitalists , who already have most of it; and beating down the 99% economically and socially. This is socioeconomic fascism. <
CB: Republicans' war on Women is its central fascist plank.
Jim says : "I’ve been somewhat amused to listen as both old and young progressives argue about whether Trump is a “real” fascist. I love reading about the history of antifascist resistance during the 30’s and 40’s, and have enjoyed greatly my associations with antifascist fighters from that period. But this discussion is pointless and gets us nowhere.
The facts are the Republican Party has waged an unceasing campaign against American democratic institutions for the last eight years, since the election of Obama, who they tried to delegitimize with their birther movement. You don’t think they have become a fascist movement? Fine! Call it what you want, put whatever label you want on it.
Now days the Republicans don’t even try to hide their nihilism.
They have tried to shut the government down, destroy Social Security and Medicare and shred the safety net. They have fought tooth and nail against any effort to hold Wall Street and the financial industry accountable for their deprivations against the American people. <
Their scapegoats extend to Muslims, undocumented immigrants, feminists and people of color who they blame for all of America’s woes. They also attack and harass scientists who try to warn us about the dangers and consequences of climate change.
They tried and are still attempting to undermine the Iranian nuclear agreement, going so far as to use the Israeli prime minister as a weapon against our president.
They have had some success in sabotaging health care reform, suppressing voting rights, gerrymandering voting districts, destroying workers’ ability to collectively bargain, and restricting women’s rights to control their bodies. They continue to vilify gay and transgender people. They have sought to obstruct and undermine the entire federal judiciary, not just the Supreme Court.
They have encouraged their followers to consider violence and taking up arms if they are unable to win at the ballot box. State Republican leaders have threatened succession.
The modern Republican Party is not the party of Lincoln. Nor is it the party of Eisenhower. It’s not even the party of Nixon. It represents the greatest threat to America since the Confederate states succession.
Let us not be distracted by the Bundy’s, the play-soldier militias, the Klan or the other assorted pathetic pawns. They have no power beyond a few guns and bullets that give their empty lives some purpose. It’s the Republican Party that is the greatest threat to our society, and the sooner we understand that the sooner we will be able to unite to counter their threat.
Is the Left going to discuss the fact that we are in fascism ? No because the Republicans are the fascist party and the Democrats are NOT a fascist party nor are the Democrats enablers , or fake opponents of the Republicans. So, the Left ( all of it almost , so ultra-left is redundant) can't call out the fascism because that would violate their number one dogmatic principle that there is no difference between the parties.
You both are right on ! Trumpist Republican Party is the Reaganite Republican Party in the nude , revealing it's essence, at its logical conclusion : anti-working class, white supremacist and male supremacist
Thomas : "The Republican Party is turning into a fascist party much like Le Pen's National Front in France. The GOP is now so far to the the right from even the GOP of even Barry Goldwater's and dare I say, Ron Reagan."
George : "Goldwater, Nixon and Ronnie Raygun laid the foundation for the current mess. They hid behind lofty slogans, but they were fundamentally saying the same crap!"
Bruce : "We are not allowed to compared the Nazi-like behavior of the Republican Party to Nazis because it upsets them. So here's a question. In the 1930s, who did people refer the actual Nazis to earlier in history? What was the most evil group people would have heard of to call the Nazis?"
CB: Exactly: use of "Nazis" or "fascist" now is rhetorical , even if the Republicans are not just like Hitler or Mussolini's parties. Calling Hitler a Nazi then wouldn't inform people because the Nazis hadn't murdered tens of millions yet. You'd have to say tyrants or barbarians . Rosa Luxembourg said "Socialism or Barbarism " before the Nazis.
Got to call Republicans fascists to alarm people, though Americans are generally very ignorant of history , even World War II history.
CB: US is under a fascist Republican Troika - Congress , President and Supreme Court ; evolved fascism since Reagan
It continues...
-The Supreme Court just upheld the Trump anti-Muslim travel ban. <
-The Supreme Court also just upheld the right of pro-life centers to prevent abortions by deceiving women about their true purposes. To do otherwise, the "Court" claims, would infringe on the centers' First Amendment rights...<
CB : Not equally committed to war now . That’s importantly wrong at this concrete period . Obama had already explicitly reversed the Bush bellicose doctrines . Democrats FDR , LBJ, OBAMA were _not_ phony populists . Working class won major reforms through them.

Bruce : "We are not allowed to compared the Nazi-like behavior of the Republican Party to Nazis because it upsets them. So here's a question. In the 1930s, who did people refer the actual Nazis to earlier in history? What was the most evil group people would have heard of to call the Nazis?"
CB: Exactly: use of "Nazis" or "fascist" now is rhetorical , even if the Republicans are not just like Hitler or Mussolini's parties. Calling Hitler a Nazi then wouldn't inform people because the Nazis hadn't murdered tens of millions yet. You'd have to say tyrants or barbarians . Rosa Luxembourg said "Socialism or Barbarism " before the Nazis.
Got to call Republicans fascists to alarm people, though Americans are generally very ignorant of history , even World War II history.
CB: US is under a fascist Republican Troika - Congress , President and Supreme Court ; evolved fascism since Reagan

Care work refers to activities that meet the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of others and to feelings of affection, concern, or responsibility toward those receiving care.[1][2] It may be performed for pay or without remuneration and takes place both within households and through institutions such as schools, hospitals, and child care centers.[3][4] Paid care occurs in formal employment settings, while unpaid care is typically carried out within families and communities, and households often combine both forms.[5] Care work may be direct, involving face-to-face interaction, or indirect, consisting of tasks that sustain the conditions under which care is provided.[6][7]

Why can China build massive infrastructure, high speed rail, entire urban districts and public projects at a speed that leaves many Western visitors stunned?
And is the answer really as simple as: "because
China is authoritarian"?
In this video, we react at Johnny Harris' attempt to understand the system behind modern China from the Communist Party and Deng Xiaoping's reforms to technocratic governance, local government incentives and one of the largest reductions

Burkina Faso's Mega Insect Factory - The Hidden Revolution Feeding the Sahel <
#InsectFarming #FutureOfFood #FoodCrisis Burkina Faso's Mega Insect Factory - The Hidden Revolution Feeding the Sahel The global food system is collapsing, and the clock is ticking. In the unforgiving, scorching heat of the Sahel, where temperatures hit 115 degrees and crops turn to dust, a silent war against starvation is being won with the most unlikely weapon on Earth: garbage-eating bugs. This isn't a sci-fi movie. This is the brutal, high-stakes reality of Burkina Faso's biological revolution. While the rest of the world panics over supply chain While the rest of the world panics over supply chain fractures and skyrocketing meat prices, this West African nation is quietly engineering a multi-billion-dollar empire out of rotting fruit and spoiled grain.<
Meet the Black Soldier Fly. In just 14 days, these microscopic larvae devour toxic waste and metamorphose it into a hyper-dense protein that outperforms beef, soy, and fishmeal. No land. No water waste. Zero emissions.
But this isn't just about saving dying crops. It's about total survival. With millions facing acute starvation and armed conflict tearing the region apart, traditional farming is dead. The old model of importing food has failed. Now, a radical new circular economy is rising from the dust, turning worthless trash into liquid gold and weaponizing nature to secure absolute food sovereignty. If you think eating insects is a bizarre trend, you're <

Sex and Culture Anthropology 210
Professor Charles Brown
Course Description:
Anthropology 210, Sex and Culture, will examine the essential role of sexual reproduction and gender in human evolution, society and culture; in kinship and marriage.
Contrary to previous iterations of this class, sexuality will not be the primary topic, though it will be addressed.
Goals: To understand the origin and evolution of Life on Earth
To understand the origin and evolution of sexual reproduction
To understand the Modern Evolutionary synthesis
To understand reproduction as the primary determinant of Darwinian Natural Selective Fitness, contrary to the popular conception of fitness as primarily determined by longevity of life span.
To understand the perfection (for Darwinian evolutionary law ) of the definition of same species for sexually reproducing species as female and male mating to produce _fertile_ offspring.
To understand the physiology and ontogeny of sex
To understand genetically based instincts To understand why heterosexual instinct is probably selected for <

The other insight I'd like to make accessible to you is a counter intuitive one derived from asking how class and patrilineal inheritance emerges
from within matrilineal societies subsisting on the same species in their ecological niche, but overtime specializing in cultivating the productivity of one species,
initially as their own most reliable food. Eventually resolving conflicts by "equitable exchanges of different forms of labor time" through intermarriage.
Thence eventually a primitive form of Surplus Value, "surplus labor time due to one, yet due the other" emerges from
"equitable exchanges of different forms of labor time, the technological productivity of which develops unevenly inevitably."
I'm sure I still don't quite have it right or it wouldn't be so hard to convey. But I'm also sure that the uneven development of technological productivity has a counter-intuitive effect in enriching the one whose labor has not become more technologically productive at the expense of the one whose has, but they are still dependent upon and must abide by the rule of the other. This latter insight comes interaction between my primary interest in 1) how matrilineal societies became patrilineal class societies without outside conquest by societies that had to be traceable themselves to pre-patrilineal ones, 2)and conversations with Italians emphasizing "uneven development of technological productivity" at the 3) 2001 international conference on Marxism in Yunnan.

THE ABUNDANCE PARADIGM: WHY AI FORCES RETHINKING MONEY ITSELF—Part 1
ELLEN BROWN

A Universal Basic Income (UBI) has long been proposed as a way to cushion the blow of jobs lost to automation. Under that model, everyone receives a modest monthly payment – enough to cover basic needs and prevent extreme poverty.
But Elon Musk has gone further. On April 16, he posted on X:
“Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to
deal with unemployment caused by AI.
“AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money
supply, so there will not be inflation.”
Rather than a subsistence stipend, Universal High Income (UHI) would be a level of income allowing ordinary people to live well in a world where machines do most of the work. Musk has also said that AI and robotics are the only things that can solve the massive U.S. debt crisis.
That sounds promising, but where will the government get the money to pay the UHI? Critics say any government that tried it would go bankrupt. There are also other concerns, which will be addressed in Part 2 of this article. Here we will look at the financial underpinnings: why UHI is even thinkable, why AI forces a reexamination of how money enters the economy, why the current system cannot scale to meet what is coming, and the implicit transition needed to meet that challenge.
