I love Lyndon Johnson's quote:

"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."

A blueprint for getting poor white, especially white southern men's votes.
