“We judge the street corner hustler or working-class criminal - from East Glasgow to East London - but we see a job as an investment banker, even in firms that launder the profits of drug cartels, fund terrorism, aid the global flow of arms, fuel war, oil spills, land grabs and generally fuck up the planet, as a perfectly legitimate, even aspirational occupation.” PoliticsRaceClassLogic Book:Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire Source: Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire
“You see, for much of Britain, America is where racism happens, and Britain is then by definition not racist because, you know, 'it's not as racist as America.' This is a totally moot and rather idiotic point, as no two countries have the same systems of social control, thus no two countries in essence have the same racisms. While British liberals may praise all the Dr Kings in the world, this does not necessarily stop them from reproducing and/or administering the domestic racial hierarchy effectively.” AmericaRaceBritainSocial ChangeBlack HistorySystemic RacismRacial Hierarchy Book:Natives Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire / Black Listed / Black and British: A Forgotten History Source: Natives Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire / Black Listed / Black and British: A Forgotten History
