Krugman: Short And On Point Regarding Race

Krugman hits the target here, no doubt.  Race is the reason our politics and our culture are so fucking ugly and so fucking dysfunctional.  With the too-easy us versus them separation of underclass whites and underclass blacks in the USA and the manipulation of the middle-class using the same simplistic race hatred, the upper-class has been unstoppable because the strength of the lower and middle class masses was corroded by racism and economic ignorance.  That's the only genius of America, and it has been destroying us for hundreds of years.
