I have said this several months ago with no response from the DU audience. The problem with this country is white people not facing the reality that they are being bamboozled by rich white people who have convinced them all their lives, that they are a superior race and that everyone other then them are taking something from them or the cause of their misery and pain.

It seems as if the only thing that may convince white people that minorities are not their enemy is a deep dive into poverty. Once the lack of SNAP benefits hit them because white people receive 40 % of those services maybe w=they will wake up and stop trusting in their whiteness and realize that we are all in this together.

I like to quote Lyndon Johnson:

“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.”

― Lyndon B. Johnson
