Deep Thought

I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better 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.

Lyndon B Johnson

What he didn't say is that all you have to do to get away with this is to tell the white man that it is the black man in his pocket instead of you

LBJ defines white privilege beautifully
