9. Wealthy white bigots are the ones always telling the poor whites that somehow the blacks are to blame for their failure.

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,.
