What is the distance between two points // how long is a piece of string

The ideology of racism and racial categories is just another means to obfuscate the working class into weaker units which will never approach the true goal of a united, egalitarian unit, opposed to oppression, and building a prosperous, progressive and egalitarian economy and society.

Racism is fed by a sense of inferiority to the power of a system of violence, perceived as the system of government, elites or the state.

Black consciousness was born inside division, rendering it necessary to use terms like black vs white, but it is at best erroneous and in reality disingenuous for an educated person or responsible leader, to embed these divisions into a political discourse as a means to rectify the damage done by inequality, injustice or economic problems.

Here is a series of interviews with Stephen Bantu Biko, slain African socialist and leader.

Biko was vehemently opposed by banning and eventually by being tortured to death while in detention. The leaders which the capitalist and elite nationalist hand-picked and imposed by a series of political changes, installed a dispensation based on division. One should remember that a rainbow, while a symbol of prosperity and positivity, is also a symbol comprising several colours. It implies division and it suggests that we proceed as different nations.

This was a very informative article and interview. He was a very intelligent man and I'm saddened that he was tortured and killed for his vision. I especially appreciated your ending thought.

Good luck mate :) Obviously upvoted

Yours, Piotr

Wow - thanks for reading my post and the follow!

I value the advice (admire your format on your posts - the separators and the image you create for thumbnails! - I think it is very effective. I would love to see the code - could you o me a great favor and edit your comment so I can see the code. What has happened is it is acting as it should but I can't see the actual code itself. I think if you use that top left key with the tilde (~) on it ~- I think it's a reverse apostrophe then the code

will appear >like this *or this* here ~

Absolutely. Im happy to help and share my knowledge. Hopefully we can end up supporting each other on steemit :)

Cheers, Piotr

Thanks so much my friend. The link answered everything. You inserted html code but it remains invisible because it renders as it should (invisible but resulting in justified text). To display the actual code one should insert a code box. Using that character i referred to. It is very useful to assist me thanks. The link showed me what to do.

That make so much sense right now.

Thx buddy

oh jezzz.

I just realized my silly mistake. In my previous post I didnt include the code that would justify text. Silly me.
