re: #14 Charles

There’s very little difference these days between the arguments David Duke uses to excuse his racism, and the arguments made by mainstream Republicans. They both use the line that white people are the real victims of discrimination. If you read an article by Duke on this subject (he’s written many), it’s almost indistinguishable from the common rhetoric of the right.

It’s classic divide and conquer stuff. Easy for poor white folk to be fed the lie that their troubles are all down to “affirmative action”. After all, why would their white male CEO brethren betray them in that way?
