Discrimination in America 2025

There has never been a time in American History where discrimination was absent.

From Google AI: “Discrimination in the United States has deep roots, stemming from the institution of slavery, the subjugation of indigenous peoples, and the systemic oppression of various racial, ethnic and religious groups.” Google suggest in its Historical Context these basic categories:

• Slavery and its aftermath Discrimination: was a defining feature of early American history, and its legacy continues to impact the nation.
• Jim Crow Laws Discrimination: Following the civil war the Jim Crow Laws of the south enforced segregation and discrimination against African Americans in various aspects of life including housing, education, employment, and public spaces.
• Immigrant Discrimination: The United States has always been a nation of immigrants and seemingly also always a nation suffused with a fear or hatred of those same immigrants
• Women’s Rights Discrimination: The unfair or unequal treatment of individual’s based on their sex or gender. This can manifest in various forms, including pay gaps, lack of representation in leadership and violence against women.
• LGBTQ+ Discrimination: These individual are described as different and outside the definition of male or female and as a result face the same types of discrimination as women or immigrants etc.
• Disability Discrimination: It is the unfair or unequal treatment of individuals based on their disability which can manifest in various forms, including being employed, have access to services, education, or social participation.
• TBD Discrimination: Who or what is the next group that will be the target of discrimination? My guess is Medicaid recipients.

I am using historical information from the internet that no doubt approaches these issues from a relatively unbiased perspective. From that point of view the message is presented without any desire to sway or dispel any mindset or belief, but instead to provide facts for the reader to decipher. For the sake of argument and as the devil’s advocate, I believe that the reasons given to the public about any discrimination is diluted for political correctness. Instead the reasons should be exposed for the horrific attitude and mindset where discrimination actually originates. There are mindsets that suggest “it is my way or the highway.” At its core I believe it begins with self-centered individuals that expect to always win and to be in relationships with only winners. Any failure by a member of the group will have them pushed away. Generally these folks will be ostracized from the leadership and thus the strategic plans of the group. (i.e. “Being Outed”).

People of like minds can come from any culture or any other group, but birds of a feather stick together thus other factors enter into this natural selection. Blood is stronger than water, but this is not always a surefire sign you will be accepted in a group. So called heroes of history suggests that, unlike Butch Cassidy, Etta Place and the Sundance Kid, they have recruited hundreds or even thousands of like-minded ideological followers. Many made up of many different cultures.

We are currently in global state of flux where folks are not sure who to trust, who to believe or who to join up with. The rules of entry discriminate in many ways, but one central theme seems to stand out in America, that is, a US born white skinned individual has the best chance to be accepted by and encouraged to join the right wing. All other cultures are suckers that can be used.

To be clear the right wing currently controlling the governments progress of the US tends to be one working hard to suppress human rights including and not limited to free speech. Secondly it is trying to suppress the growth of non-whites. It has used Latinos as the “whipping boy” to validate its message. The hype is that all illegal immigrants are a danger to our citizens and is dismantling the freedom we currently enjoy. Secondly it is bringing with them an ideology that encourages drug use. Nothing is ever mentioned that supply is based on demand and that the right wing thrives on exploiting the free market and will invest heavily into it. Drug cartels are not successful without a well-financed US based cartel to partner with it. Adding and abating while wearing a halo. How un-Christian is that?   

So discrimination is alive and well on planet earth. Currently it’s against the illegal immigrates of Latin based countries not the Irish to trying to survive the potato famine. Not the Cubans running from Castro, not countries in Africa or the middle east. And who pays he highest price? Women and children are particularly vulnerable during these journeys. We can close our borders and limit the ingress but desperate times call for desperate measures. Life has become expendable and humanity disrespected. It is not a society that cares about anyone, but only of one self. Survival of the fittest is well and good but not reserved for just a few.

The world must discriminate against any society that would want for only their group of like-minded members to survive. That is unless it is a society that includes all individual who have a beating heart and lungs. Cold blooded species are a conversation for another time.

I am trying to perpetuate the species by helping them have basic survival resources. Read about my mission please, www.hplacharities.org/donate
