Racism is one of the key messages being used to agitate the mob. Dark money is provided to openly racist politicians (MTG for example) as well as to the 'wink, wink, nod, nod' politicians (Cornyn for example).

PACs are essential to hide the dark money flow which is used to transition passive racism to active racism. It is similar to a chemical reaction which occurs only when a catalyst has been added to the equation.
