On the young man from Towson State on the white race; What he does not see is that what is oppressing him is what has been used succesfully against people of color, divide and conquer. Income inequality is a major part of divided and conquer and knows really no bounds, race, creed, gender etc. although cases can be made within thst discussion, income ineqaulity that can prove discrimination, I am pointing towards the overall or macro if you will effect. The 1% are that tiny tiny number, 9.9 out of 10 of us are not in that group and that number gets tossed around so much, I feel that many do not pause and actually see that as THE problem. Yes, whites are having problems, but not from any color groups looking to out them into chains, that is more a function of guilty conscience imho, the reality of their situation traces to that tiny .1, 1%. That small group will play one off against another, I feel this is at the heart of the energy that drove the creation of the Tea Party; whites can clearly now see the same tidal wave approaching them that has consumed people of color and are trying to head that off but they mistake the source of that wave. It is NOT from people of color. The progression, success of people of color is patterend off of the template of whites, is it not ? Education, religion etc., so there will be a degree to where those who had less now have more and this young man sees that, imho, as the threat when that threat IS the 1%, pulling the strings willing to sacrifice a few million here and there, of any color, of any creed or gender to protect and further their 1% intertests; Again, it is time to take that number, 1%, not as a semantic thing but as the reality and the source of many of our problems.

Business owned schools
also get to (more or less) control curriculum and course content.......
-- history of human rights and labor rights....?
-- environmental studies?
-- global warming...?
Will schools just be training camps for the next wave of obedient and brain-washed "perfect" employees for the corporate consortium?

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO
