(67,642 posts)I listened to the whole speech, it was so wonderful. Just the sound of his voice, even and measured and confident, gave me renewed hope and strength. I love him and his family so much; they give me a reason to fight on. WE ELECTED THIS MAN TWICE!

In the south, it's always been based on a strongly hierarchical society that hasn't changed all that much since the founding of the southern colonies. At its heart was and is economic exploitation. LBJ grew up immersed in it like I did and knew exactly what it was. From a conversation with Bill Moyers.. Ill tell you whats at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man hes better than the best colored man, he wont notice youre picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and hell empty his pockets for you."
The monied class didn't change the playbook. Just the terminology. Today it's DEI. The fools are being played and still aren't smart enough to recognize it.

The opposite of DEI is corruption.
