Today the Colour Line/Is the Power Line/Is the Poverty Line[00:00:02]

Racism and imperialism work in tandem[00:00:40]

And poverty is their handmaiden[00:00:44]

Those who are poor and powerless to break out of their poverty[00:01:03]

Are also those who by and large are non-white non-western third world[00:01:06]

Poverty and powerlessness are interwined in colour in race[00:01:11]

Discrimination and exploitation feed into each other today[00:01:17]

Under global capitalism [00:01:22]

We are back to primitive accumulation - plunder on a world scale[00:01:36]

Only this time the pillage is accompanied by aid sustained by expert[00:01:42]

Advice and underpinned by programmes and policies that perpetuate dependency[00:01:48]

The IMF The World Bank Structural Adjustment Programmes[00:01:54]

General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - GATT [00:01:59]

Are just a few of the organisations schemes projects[00:02:02]

Which under the guise of developing the third world plunder it [00:02:06]

Trade agreements and commodity price-fixing patents and[00:02:27]

Intellectual property rights[00:02:32]

They lock them into paralytic dependency[00:02:35]

There's no such thing as illegal immigrants only illegal[00:03:07]

Governments [00:03:11]

Black is not just the colour of our skins[00:03:17]

It's the colour of our politics [00:03:25]

There's no such thing as illegal immigrants only illegal[00:03:28]

Governments [00:03:31]

Today the colour line/is the power line/is the poverty line[00:03:41]
