There was once an experiment conducted about behavior.
A rat was put into a large cage. A foot pedal was installed, and when the rat stepped on it he got a pellet of food. This was the perfect system. If the rat put in work then he got fed.
Ok, cool.
Now, the experimenters moved the foot pedal a few inches from where the food was dispensed. The rat pushed the pedal, and then went to the dispenser and ate. The rat had to work a little bit harder to eat, but he was still eating.
Still cool.
Now, the experimenters dropped a few more rats into the cage. The rats would all push the pedal and then run over and get fed. This system worked well until one of the rats figured out that he could just sit by the dispenser and wait for another rat to push the pedal and eat the food released by other rats.
The other rats had a problem with this new system, but found they could push the lever a few more times to feed the lazy rat and run over while there was still food for them to eat.
Soon, some other rats stopped pushing the lever and just stayed by the food dispenser, waiting. The other rats had to put in even more work to feed the lazy rats and then run over to get fed before all the pellets were gone.
In the end, half the rats were doing all the work and the other half got all the benefits. The working rats were always tired, always hungry, and got weaker from fatigue and lack of food. The working rats were getting no love, and they had enough.
They united together, killed, and ate a few of the non-working rats. The lazy rats who were left got the point and got to work. Soon, balance was restored and all was fair again. Heres the point:
Blacks in America have always been the working rats, while foreigners (whites) have sat at the bank and reaped all the reward. They get richer, eat better, spend more time off, and live better than the working rats could ever imagine.
Its time for us black working rats to say enough.
