We NEED(ED) the blacks for slave labor for the south, a static label to juxtapose whiteness (privileged class) with, and many of them die in our today's wars with very little benefits. We NEED the poor to power our urban areas and economy while they receive the short end of the stick on living conditions and pay. We NEED to exploit foreign countries to get rich (this mainly applies to the upper-class, not us) and our low prices at Walmart.

Are you really gonna bring up this crap? #1 America's poor have it much better than virtually any other country. Yes blacks were used as slave labor - IIRC we abolished that, right? Did we take the land from the indians? Yes and your point is? There will be rich and poor in every society, and our poor have it it infinitely better than most, if not all, other country's poor. ok, fine start naming some other "great countries" which did not exploit some other group to advance their own ideals. I'll wait. I think that America does a hell of a lot for the world as a whole and you are focusing on much of the negativity of the past. Did "America" make mistakes and do bad things, of course, but I think we have gone a long way to learn from and rectify them.
