As President Johnson said, "“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.”

I've been a white homeless man. A cop frisked me after I spent the night in a library (at the university where I was a homeless student), but didn't arrest me. I'd bet it would've gone harder if I'd been black.
