Both are irrelevant in many ways. Today, women are in senior roles in all walks of American life, and Blacks whilst still subject to racist notions are not the outcasts they were for so long in America. What the bigwigs who decided who runs for nomination and who prospers really want is to deflect American`s concerns away from what really divides America-CLASS. The last 30 years have been about class warfare-regardless of colour or sex. The evisceration of unions, the hollowing out of American industry for the benefit of Transnational Corps, the financialisation of the economy. ie: away from manufacturing and toward banking and credit creation and the regressive taxation policies which have seen the rich poor divide grow to unheard of proportions in the US.
Race and sex are a fig leaf, for a society bedeviled by class warfare fought with increasing tenacity from Reagan to Bush. |
