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"
