"Classism" : Racism for classes
The division among classes has separated us people since the beginning of time. In the time before true civilization with currency and a set system of economics it was division of classes based on ones wealth.
For example say Caveman A spent days fashioning a club at the same time he had a lady friend compared to Caveman B with neither of those obviously hanging out with Caveman B won't be very fun if he doesn't have another club or a companion as well. Very simple but separation of class. By Caveman A with his club and lovely lady friend not desiring to hangout with Caveman B because of his lack of wealth would make his a "clssist," racist, but class.
As time goes on and civilization is evolves into a set government and economic system , much like in the era of kings and queens, money becomes a factor. Although in a time where heritage is just as important as money separation of class was really who you were born from. If you were born into royalty you were golden, but if you were born into middle to poor class life just wasn't gonna be as fun. Especially since back then if you were rich and royal you could rub it in your fellow mans face, literally, because with a high power like that classes below you were near slave status even if they were in your same kingdom or village. The rich and high class of this time were the "classist's" in comparison to slave owners in the 1800's.
This term, "classist," closely relates to separation of class and color during slavery in N. America in the 1800's as it was rich White people buying stolen African American's from Africa and profiting from it. This separation of race and class has the same appeal today. As minorities in America are oppressed in the literal success of ones life here its can be seen from the rich white mans point of view down to "rest of us." The first and previously only billionaire black women was Oprah and that was because 90%~ of America knows who she is.
From day one when your born if you come out white in America your probably ,most likely, gonna succeed or live an ample life unless your born into the lowest 10% of income families. The "classist" of today is someone who is usually rich. Rich enough to have more than a car for one self. Rich enough to fly first class. Rich enough to send each of their children to private school. All of these are a separation of class, moving them self and status away from the middle man/ lower class. Living in a capitalist America as a rich person, spendable income, its nearly impossible not to be a "classist" and part take in "classism." Good and services just scream "I'm Rich" here. Like private schools, first class, VIP, valet parking, etc. the list is gigantic. The funny thing is these services are usually carried out by a very low payed individual who really doesn't want to do their job serving rich people all the time. Funny, sounds like slavery.
The way it looks and has been looking this will stay the same till the end of mankind as it has been around since the beginning. A separation from your fellow man/woman is inevitable. As a species that creates such elaborate lifestyles and peacocks the line from poor to rich is comparable to African American slave and Land owning White as well as hand crafted club and girl owning caveman A to caveman B.
Now, are you a "classist"? or part take in "classism"?
I am, with my iPhone alone puts me above so many under privileged people out there without one. Not a good thing to know, but that's capitalist America for you. Born and raised.
