There are a lot of pseudo-enlightened "the overlords are just trying to divide us" takes going around recently in light of the Karmelo Anthony case.
The only reason the "overlords" have something to work with in the first place is because of a problem that has always existed. Are there "powerful" people stoking the flames from above? Sure. Does that mean that the battle isn't real? Absolutely not.
Even if some people were propagandized into hating you, they are not only committing an overwhelming amount of crime in proportion to their population size, but even the ones who aren't doing it are excusing, justifying, & celebrating your death. If anything, the propaganda only exacerbated very real tensions.
They're easily controlled because, by & large, they don't have the mental capacity to understand anything beyond their base impulses. Their way of life & values are incompatible with ours.
There is no uniting with that & nor should we have to "unite" with people who are ultimately proud to be your enemy. They aren't forced to act like this, they'll just use any excuse to do it.
