That's as may be, but still, remember what Lyndon B Johnson said about controlling the lower classes.

Something about convincing the lowest white person that they're better than the best black guy.

I don't see that ploy failing to work in the US for a long, long time. So maybe the elites will lose control and thus, the "war"? But I doubt it.

Are you sure you aren't trying to quote Truman?

"To keep a black guy down in the gutter, you need a white guy there with him"

Very famous Johnson quote

> 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
