@altschmerz don't miss the larger lessons to be learned here though. A lot of the work done by Teodrose Fikremariam correlates to the narratives of this group and message I'm attempting to get out. One of those messages was hinted towards us within this sentence. (The first black president would not have won in 2008 if lily “white” Iowans did not endorse his candidacy, it was WASP acceptance that made us embrace Barack.) The underlining key of understanding would be those who understand the structure of WASP indoctrination into society. I have often referred to this purposeful construct in the group also as the European power structure that was transported to the "new land" within our "founding fathers" that today still dictates the US ruling class power hold over us.

Along with this lesson, embedded to the above, would be how we are engaged in a state of constantly supporting policies, tribalism in many forms, and movements that go against our own social and personal benefit, which this construct is highly responsible for. So much to a point it runs into dividing even the secular groups of society. As was Fikremariam's main narrative in this article. And The Black Agenda Report that I use here so often also exposes.

{What is true of Ethiopia is true of America and the world. We live in very dangerous times where the 1% who are united weaponize information, demagogues and grievance to incite us and create strife.}

"Sheep" as you correctly acknowledge become blissful self inflicted victims of their own actions due to ignorance. In our case, taking down the whole of our society with them.
