It was a good plan. Make them think that they are being held back by minorities, when in reality they are getting screwed by the government, big business and the church. If there wasnt any others in America but whites I believe that we would have a Northern Ireland situation all over this place. Southern Baptist blowing up Catholics in Mississippi. Maybe it is a good thing that whites think that minorities are the problem...it keeps all my Catholic friends safe.

very interesting, but stupid
Interesting point !!!
Couldn't agree more.Try to make this argument any time someone posts something racist. But apparently the awful truth is not getting true,this is also because racism appeals to the primitive gut feelings.What we are saying is an intellectual statement and you have to think about it.Due to bad work conditions many low wage workers are exhausted and then it's easier to give in to feelings than to have to deal with an argument that appeals to reason. I think we should understand that and keep spreading the word,while always being patient. Racist poor people are victims too!
I crossed paths with some KKK guys in college and their motivation was obvious. They were uneducated and unsuccessful and looking for someone they could feel superior to without any effort on their part. So thinking that the race, gender, religious affiliation, etc. that were the accidents of their birth automatically made them better than large groups of people was very attractive to them.
Everything is a tool in politics, you should get used to that. You can only manipulate what people think, not the truth.
I agree
Ask this question to yourself: WHat will happen to America as a trade zone when the people living there can no more exploit the whole world. They will all kill one another on the grounds of RELIGION AND ETHNICITY. America is not a country . It is a free trade zone (Vanity Fair)...Mexicans, Blacks and Catholics are the first to be eliminated...
