Obviously! And if you've ever dealt with thugs, you'd know that for sure. And those not part of organized crime and not even free-lancers will do anything for their capitalist masters as enforcers, hooligans, and other sub rosa miscreants. They'll stomp your (proletarian) ass for fifty cent; hell, for a nickel.
Which reminds me of why I hate Elvis so much--not his fault. Several decades ago I had a minimum wage job in a warehouse, the worst work experience I ever had, as I was surrounded by lowlife white bigots who hurled racial slurs the livelong day (actually the second shift) and played Elvis over the sound system constantly. Then again, there's nothing new about loving black music and hating black people. I suppose this accounts for Clapton et al?
