Every day I have to marvel at what the billionaires and FOX News pulled off.
They got working whites to hate the very people that want them to have more pay, clean air, water, free healthcare and the power to fight back against big banks & big corps. It’s truly remarkable.

1. Maybe easier than you would think.

Hell, the orange idiot got Harley Davidson fans to hate Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Who would have ever thought that was possible?

2. Lyndon Johnson had it figured out years ago:

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

7. "I vote republican to......."

3. I'll say it again, without racism the Republican Party would cease to be viable.

Democrats have a stronger message on every issue that should matter to working people. People aren't voting Republican because of economic anxiety. There are progressives who get that, and some who don't.

If we can reduce systemic racism while ensuring that schools engage in multicultural education, there will eventually be a reduction in individual racism. Don't run from "identity politics." Embrace it.

6. the oppostion to sensible economic policies is also because of racism

and people not wanting the blacks and Mexicans and whatever others to not get something.
