I must have been . . . naw, I can’t even imagine. How many calories are there in bulls..t?

which includes the the Homestead Act of 1862 which gave free land to whites.

MLK explains.

Always talking about how hard they worked to get what they have, always assuming "the other" got it without working hard for it. Always playing the victim. Pathetic.

or "them" that this refers to?

Why do they show only poor white folks and not the wealthy white bigots?
It seems to me that some history needs to be gone over here.

Not all poor white people are bigots.

Creating an "us versus them" narrative is how they keep everyone else from realizing who is really screwing them.

This is not just true of wealthy white people, but wealthy people in general. They have lead us to believe that the success of someone who is trying to build a better life for themselves and their families causes failure for others.
It's a race war, it's a culture war...a manufactured conflict that allows the rich to keep getting bigger and bigger pieces of the economic pie.
There is absolutely no way that 3 people, Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg should have nearly 1 trillion in wealth between them. And yet they do.
And 1,135 US billionaires have about 5.7 trillion in combined wealth,.

Thank you

The 0.1% "powers that be" (wealthy white men, typically) have traditionally sown division between everyone with minimal resources, pitting poor black, brown, and white people against each other using race as the dividing line. It is pure evil, but an unfortunately brilliant strategy, because if those three groups ever got together en masse, they could run the 0.1% into the ground.

"They" should have been explicit.

“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.”

It was in 1862, so I doubt you were around to collect.
