After Bacon's rebellion in 1676 where European indentured servants joined forces with black slaves the elites have worked to insure that this would never happen again. The enacted the pass laws and slave patrols and enlisted dumb white settlers to provide free labor. President Lyndon Johnson put it best when he stated “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better off 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."

White workers have had their standard of living erode over the past 40 years to the point where their life expectancy is declining. The response of many has been to buy more guns and support billionaires for public office. Critical thinking is largely absent from the American public.

If I was graduating from high school today I would be deciding to which country to emigrate and begin my adult life.
