The perspective developed in a society determines how we distribute resources. How these resources are distributed forms out of what is acceptable in a society; discrimination comes out of what is found acceptable. Therefore, discrimination begins as economic discrimination. Our society reasons that all of discrimination is socio-political, instead it is resource driven. If we examine history we notice this pattern. Anti-semitism in Europe developed out of a perception of a one sided economic model. New world racial discrimination began from economic exploitation( slavery) and was furthered by a fear of distribution of economic resources. These and others are all based on an economic basis: the dominant group striving for control of distribution of assets motivates all discrimination. The resource distribution motivates a sense of collective unconcious to discrimination, we accept it as merely a set of verying factors. Our focus begins to become clouded by own issues and instead denies discrimination occurs.
The solution becomes simple: move beyond a controlled distribution of resources. Move into a system where recourses are distributed without consideration for who they are distributed to. This way we can begin to dissolve prejudice in our society and instead begin to solve our larger problems.
