When the Democratic Party has a debate in Detroit, of all cities, you might think that labor unions would be mentioned. Right?

IOW, I fell victim to classic Democratic PTB framing, namely, making the more democratic way seem oh! so laughable and oh! so "less than: the undemocratic way. (Needless to say, the 2008 Democratic field of Biden, Dodd, Hillary, et al.

Like any myth, white supremacy depends on a few basic beliefs, axioms if you will, that are foundational, and create the premises for all that follows. The first, and most fundamental, belief that all white supremacists hold is that race as a matter of science exists.
