Former President Lyndon B Johnson was asked; Why Poor And Middle Class Republicans Vote Against Their Own Interest? President Johnson’s response;
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s is better than the best colored man, he won’t know you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him someone to look down on and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” Lyndon B Johnson
Please note:
Use of Former President Lyndon B Johnson statement is not an indictment on all whites, it was used in the context of Republicans having “preyed” and continue to “prey” on the uninformed into actually brainwashing them. Racism exists in all Societies. “It is easier to fool someone than to convince them that they are being fooled.”
However, I do believe that most people today do recognize that since Barack Obama became President, President Johnson’s statement remains alive and well. Look at the “Trolls” commenting on Fox News and on Remarks made my Republicans and it is self evident that Johnson’s statement is actual facts. The Trolls comment reads; Obama is dumb! Obama is stupid: Obama is the worst President ever, and things of that nature.
Considering President Obama graduated Magana Cum Laude From Harvard and taught Constitutional Law and in one attempt at the age of 46, he was elected President of The United States with approximately 65 million votes that included Whites, Blacks, Hispanic, Orientals and across the spectrum. In 2012, despite the fierce Opposition and thrashing by the Republicans, Obama was reelected with approximately 65 million votes.
Considering the damage Bush and Cheney did to America in their eight years of America’s Steward, Obama’s accomplishments are humongous. But, would the Right-Wing which includes Fox News and the other extremists ever give President Obama credit, “not in this life time.”
