Trump’s Racism (ODT)

Dividing working people is a tried and true strategy of our upper economic group and their collaborators. Think president Lyndon Johnson. He opined on the politics of racism to Bill Moyers a young staffer in 1960:

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