Racism was a tool to divide poor whites and indentured servants from black slaves to keep everyone from rising up against wealthy but outnumbered plantation owners taking advantage of everyone.

The plantation owners are still here.

The racism they use to control us still works.
Republicans care more about the plantation owners and the huge corporations than they care about poor whites. But they exploit the power of racism to make these suffering poor white people feel superior to people to color and therefore important.

Poor whites need to wake up now.
All our country’s resources and opportunities have been sucked up by the wealthiest top 1%. Republicans want poor whites to fight with people of color for the remaining scraps and crumbs while the top 1% already stole the entire cake factory.

Enough.

It’s time to get some cake.
