Reading this, I think your thought process is just very muddled.
Things have gotten better in the US because we had a revolution and it's taken 200+ years for the special interest groups to finally sink us. Remember, the Federal Reserve is the 3rd Central Bank of the US. Twice the people kicked the bankers out, and so they finally succeeded by obfuscating the bill as much as possible. I hear Texas is talking about seceding. That is what we need: throwing out millions of pages of pointless Federal laws and then a government on a smaller scale where it's easier to hold politicians responsible.
How you think a video talking about 'white privilege' is somehow decreasing racial tensions is beyond me. How you consider the banks owning more and more of our government is progress is mind boggling.
Simply, I think your ideas about politics have no connection to reality.

That's a very stange view of history. Everything was great black when only wealthy white males could vote (slave owners often) -- but then everything got screwed up by special interest....did it ever occur to you that slave holding was a special interest?
Again how do you explain unions getting the 8 hour work week if democracy only ever serves the interest of the powerful?
I g2g but let me just say...when you disagree with me. Your disagreeing with mainstream academic thought. Don't fool yourself into thinking I'm just making my own shit up.
