Obama nailed it last night

"But we're not where we need to be. And all of us have more work to do. (Applause.) If every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and an undeserving minority, then workers of all shades are going to be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves. (Applause.)" Here's the whole speech.

Just like in the days of Jim Crow in the South, when white sharecroppers were pitted against black share croppers, while the elite ate everybody's lunch.

The more things change the more they seem to remain the same in the USA.
