Today, the Colour Line/Is the Power Line/Is the Poverty Line |
| [00:40.20] |
Racism and imperialism work in tandem |
| [00:44.01] |
And poverty is their handmaiden |
| [00:46.72] |
|
| [01:03.00] |
Those who are poor and powerless to break out of their poverty |
| [01:06.95] |
Are also those who by and large are non-white, non-western, third world |
| [01:11.52] |
Poverty and powerlessness are interwined in colour, in race |
| [01:17.66] |
Discrimination and exploitation feed into each other today |
| [01:22.37] |
Under global capitalism... |
| [01:25.19] |
|
| [01:36.86] |
We are back to primitive accumulation - plunder on a world scale |
| [01:42.78] |
Only this time, the pillage is accompanied by aid, sustained by expert |
| [01:48.15] |
advice and underpinned by programmes and policies that perpetuate dependency |
| [01:54.14] |
The IMF, The World Bank, Structural Adjustment Programmes |
| [01:59.57] |
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - GATT, |
| [02:02.87] |
are just a few of the organisations, schemes, projects |
| [02:06.80] |
which under the guise of developing the third world, plunder it. |
| [02:24.87] |
|
| [02:27.96] |
Trade agreements and commodity price-fixing, patents and |
| [02:32.84] |
intellectual property rights |
| [02:35.15] |
They lock them into paralytic dependency |
| [02:46.10] |
|
| [03:07.82] |
There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal |
| [03:11.08] |
governments... |
| [03:17.98] |
Black is not just the colour of our skins |
| [03:25.78] |
It's the colour of our politics... |
| [03:28.90] |
There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal |
| [03:31.46] |
governments... |
| [03:41.83] |
Today, the colour line/is the power line/is the poverty line |
