Thought for the Day


Former President Lyndon Baines Johnson said:

“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 someone to look down on and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

So goes the story of the southern states. Even modern ones like Florida and Texas. The cynicism and ignorance grew over the generations and even today. Now Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kansas are joining the failed states.

Picking pockets of ignorant people. And letting them feel good about it.

When will we stop this from happening?
