How many Americans are racist? Well, at least 49.8% of the electorate, given that they don’t care if their elected president destroys the country as long as they’re a good old-fashioned racist. You see, 1 in 2 Americans are willing to sacrifice everything just to vote in a racist president: their job, their health coverage, social benefits, freedom of speech, the list is endless.
We all tried. We warned that women will become second-class citizens. We warned that people will lose their healthcare. We warned that democracy would end. But all the warnings were just feathers blowing up against a wall of white-trash cinder blocks, and it wasn’t even Democrat propaganda. It was taken out of the White Trash Party’s own book: Project 2025. I mean, there’s nothing left to say but to comprehend this: that you can never change a racist.
But perhaps what you can do is change the system which breeds more racism. Read on.
How did a country so diverse fail to curb its racism? The answer is easy: it didn’t, because racism was always part of America’s economic might. The plantations may have closed down long ago, but blacks, browns, Asians and immigrants continued to be exploited, doing the most work for the least reward. Inequality is an essential driver of capitalism, and racism is the narrative which legitimises inequality. The way this translates in real life is this: you are not as American as I am, and you will never be because of your colour, so work harder at it. Sucker.
As Trump rips apart the constitution, it is time for a country to look deep within itself: all the safeguards and policies that were in place to protect vulnerable groups, racial, ethnic and other minorities were not enough to beat racism in America. They failed to build an America for all Americans. Why? Because it would have crashed capitalism. It would have crashed the inequality which keeps so many Americans desperate for exploitative jobs that churn massive profits for the Whites. It is not only Americans that are racist. Their whole system is.
If the “non-racist” Americans want this country back, they will need to be ready to share it with the rest of the nation in ways they never have before. They need to tackle the inequality which feeds racism, and the racism which feeds inequality. Otherwise, the percentage mentioned at the start of this article may have to be dramatically revised, I’m afraid, upwards.
Let’s build a new society.

Brutal truth, George – and – you are not wrong.
We can also think of it this way: necropolitics chooses who’s in danger, and necrocapitalism uses that danger to make money. Government actions often cause the danger, and racism justifies it.
One is about controlling death, the other is about profiting from it. In simple terms: necropolitics is the power to decide who lives and dies, and necrocapitalism is making money from that.
Racism is used to make both happen.
However, the sad fact is and at the end of the day: 90 million Americans do not vote. 36% of this country does not care, turns the other way, chooses to be silent. It could be safe to say, we’re screwed.
I wonder how close we are to rock bottom.
