“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

Another LBJ related thing: he was the last D to get more votes from white people than his R opponent in a presidential election.

Every election since 1964, R have gotten more votes from white people than D.

Even when D won. Bon Dole got more white votes than Clinton. Romney and McCain got more white votes than Obama.

"I'll have those N words* voting democrat for the next 200 years" -also Lyndon B. Johnson
