then there's what we might call, one economist calls the aristocratic racism, the species of social darwinism and its the attitude of wealthy elites may be most particularly corporate, and especially those of the vienna heritage like the coke brothers as an attitude that the rich are entitled only to eat more from the tree of life than those beneath them on the economic ladder but also, to run the entire nation. they think it is their right. the rich are not just different from the non- rich, that that they are a superior human subspecies. if aristocratic racism says that the non- rich deserve fewer life chances, then of course african-americans are seeing all the more undeserving of economic inequality. so here again, we get to the least beneficial end of the policy under the attitudes of the aristocratic race. what can be the goal of the elite strategic use of racism? wine is to distract american people from focusing on the capitalist policies and practices that militate against the good of society. for example we have the american legislative exchange council funded by the koch brothers an
