If I've learned anything from growing up in the South, it's that having both poor white people and poor black people makes it much easier for those in power to convince both groups that the other is the source of all of their problems instead of it being the rich and powerful.

Classic divide and conquer.

This is still 100% true today, especially in the US south.
