America On The Way to 3rd World Status

Do you remember that comic strip/weight-lifting ad in the back of magazines where a skinny guy gets sand kicked in his face by a ripped up bully?

Well I saw it again on the cover of this month's FORTUNE magazine, with this slight twist: the skinny bitch was Uncle Sam and the ripped dude was a Chinese personifcation. The cover story was coming down hard on the impending Chinese threat to America's way of life (best be sure that the valued American standard of living is stalling right now, and soon will be falling -- plunging is more like it).

The author wasn't saying that American can't compete in the global market, because it can. It's the American workers who ain't worth shit! Yeah, and if you think about it that statement has a lot of truth to it. Ever since the mid-70s American education has been steadily declining -- particularly in any hard science field. Across the board education - public and private is steadily falling behind too many countries that American workers need to compete against. Sure, childrenof East Asian immigrants have been making up the slack for whites and Blacks, but why is that the case? The article pointed out that American youth culture is one that sees any kind of "heavy" studying in math, science and computers as being nerdy and uncool -- and in America there is NOTHING worse than being labeled a nerd or being perceived as being "uncool."

The cool, fuck-it-all attitude that arose in the late 60s, took root in the 70s and because a way of life in the 80s (termed the slacker) that was eventually lauded and cheered -- but at the expense . America is already an 80% service economy, what happens when those services can be primarily provided overseas for cheaper (we're already seeing it with Call Centers and other low wage customer service jobs)?

Whites just don't see tech driven education as a way to "get the girl" as it is drilled into the publics brain by lifestyle-commericals, MTV and youth oriented TV shows.

Niggaz never prized education -- any kind of education -- in the first place (which means that cycle has to be broken before Niggaz can begin to embrace tech ed), so you know the hard sciences are eschewed even more by Niggaz! From a certain viewpoint, Black pop culture has signed the death warrant for Black people as a viable economic entity as the 21st century rolls along. And as racism seemingly goes to the wayside (not truth, but...) and the Latino population gorws faster, Niggaz aren't going to get the

What Niggaz do bring to the table is fastily becoming easily mimicable for whites, Asians and Hispanics... so Niggaz aren't going to have place? Except as the permanant underclass that believes they are too good for certain jobs that they were forced to take in the 8 decades after slavery, thus condemning Niggaz to a poverty level, class, societal rank that they won't be able to escape. The ghetto increasingly cramps the mental outlook of those living it and Niggaz will be living in the ghetto more and more, as China continues to bully the U.S. And thanks to the decades of propaganda that portrayed American Blacks as dangerous the Chinese aren't going to want deal with Niggaz either.
