alcohol abuse is a symptom of colonization...take a people and condition them that they are inferior and that their ways, traditions, culture is heathen, evil, wrong, unworthy of "God" and of course they will seek escape...alcohol is an inexpensive, legal way to go.
racist asshole A is a racist because he was raised by rascist assholes. He continues propegating racism by denying it's existence. racist asshole B is a racist for other reasons (drug damage? brain damage form a stroke, his neighbors told him to be? whatever) ...different reasons same problem.
while race is a cultural construct, racism thrives.
I've been watching this community for a while and you always run terrific articles - thanks! This sounds a lot like what happened to the Bushmen of Botswana when they were moved off their ancestral lands and relocated to shanty towns due to the diamond mines. Check out the BBC for articles regarding their lawsuit (Bushmen won) and the AIDS affliction that was the direct result of the forced relocation.
