plainlyjune: i think the operating word there is "free" leading to equality or vise versa

hug
Equality among whom? the poor people of different countries? or among all people? I'm afraid it's gonna be the former, rather than the latter, in which case they have nowhere to escape to.

gardenhackle: I know I'm not the guy you were responding to, but I didn't realize this. Is there some source of information that I could access that would confirm that to be true?

Robert Mugabe (President of Zimbabwe) Good Luck Johnson (President Of Nigeria), Jacub Zuma in South Africa is another one. All have fought tooth and nail to stop outside white interference. Your not going to see this on the News because white people have this WHITE SAVIOUR MENTALITY. You see it played out in the News and on Documentaries. Africans will flies on their face with some white reporter showing how wrong this is or Bob Geldof on TV demanding more money. All gives the impression that blacks in Africa do nothing but wait for handouts and also gives the impression that whites are better. The natives therefore need their help and are, in fact, being helped. That is what whites like to believe. The truth is whites are no better than anyone else – just more powerful. And most of the time they use that power to serve their own ends, often screwing up the natives in the process – who then become objects of pity in need of saving.

See how it works ?

Whites know the ugly truth, at least at some level, even today whites like Madonna and Angelina Jolie have a WHITE SAVIOUR MENTALITY or you have WHITE SAVIOUR films like Sandra Bullock in the “Blind Side”. One of the reasons why discussions about race can be difficult is because most whites have this white gaze which is looking at the world through a white person’s eyes. It is the world as told by white people for white people. Most whites do not see it that way nor think this nakedly about this : They see it as just presenting the world as it is, the way anyone would who was being fair, honest and open-minded. They fail to see how the color of their skin colors their view of the world because many live in such a white world that their white gaze is rarely challenged and so they do not even notice that it is there. That is why the few posts I have wrote in here seem to hit a raw nerve, hence they get nervously laughed off, because it comes from beyond their white gaze.

Why did you find it necessary to mention three of the most corrupt ones?

How would you feel if, in your utopian world, there was a subset of people who didn't pay a fair share in taxes, yet had the same right to social services, who if (not when) if they commited a crime could buy a new identity, and do it all over again, who would do your job for less money, thus freezing, or dropping your wages? The list goes on and on.


CHEATED

In my utopian world the social services would be for everyone... not just the destitute...and everyone WOULD pay their fair share because the taxes would be based on what you can afford to pay based on income and household size... AND everyone would be required to contribute in some way whether they were "disabled" or not... I would change the entire structure of the social service system.
