Hey Jessicsts

The world has seen a lot of racial tension in the media of late; I wouldn't say its unwarranted and that racism hasn't been there until now, it has, it always will if we don't take steps to change the way we govern ourselves, society and the way we integrate all cultures of society.

Racism is sparked primarily by the gross inequality we see today, the gap between the haves and the have nots keeps getting bigger, and the ability to move up the class structures by merit alone is damn near impossible.

Nepotism rules and because of it certain races have seen a better go of it than others, as long as they money printing is in the hands of a certain type of people they will always cater to their immediate network, it's just how it is, and it's not going to change.

Racism is the perfect cover-up

Racism is a very dismissive term, we think by calling someone out as racist, we've actually done something, we've achieved a goal we've stamped out hate and bigotry when in fact we've done absolutely nothing to help those who are systematically oppressed. Racism is a closed loop that allows the masses to keep fighting with one another and not looking up from the game show to see how they are all getting fucked over inv various degrees.

Racism keeps us from actually working together in a constructive manner to alleviate poverty and suffering and give people the change to build their own communities and livelihoods.

Racism comes from all sides

I've grown up in a country that has turned racism into a fine art, ah if racism was an Olympic sport, South Africa would dominate. We live with a lot of pain and resentment from all sides, and it has stuck with us to this day. As a so-called "coloured" person, I've had the ability to integrate with several communities who divide their lines by race and seen the prejudice on all sides.

I can tell you it's not pretty; everyone is trying to put the other down to move up the totem pole in some way shape or form, its exhausting in a way to even watch as a lot of the effort people put into these fights are wasted and could be put to more constructive use.

Coming together and finding common ground

When I joined the Bitcoin community and started to talk with people all over the world about this fantastic technology, I noticed its people from all races, coloured, cultures and creeds coming together in a positive manner to affect change.

I'm not saying owning crypto doesn't make you a racist, and there's no racists holding crypto, what I'm saying is, we've found common ground, the push for a new financial system all of us can share in and benefit from using and put our differences aside to achieve that goal.

Everyone has a part to play in the growth of BTC, and there is so much positivity and energy in this space, I can't help but think the rest of the world needs to get in on this. Our great war is here; this is our regime-change war; this is our civil rights movement; this is our fight for freedom.

If we can change the money, we can change the world!

Have your say

What do you good people of HIVE think? Can we all get along under a new umbrella?

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, comment "I am a Jessie."
