"It may turn out that racial differences are not as
basic as questions of money and power, but have served
a useful purpose, often in the interest of those who
deplore them most, in keeping us divided and
relatively poor and powerless." (SL, "Intro," p. 12)


See, at yr own risk ...

Goad, Jim.  The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies,
    Hicks, and White Trash Became America's
    Scapegoats.  NY: Simon & Schuster, 1997. 

"With engagingly satiric style, he shows how 'white
cash' has always pitted 'white trash' against blacks
with a divide-and-conquer ploy. The message is clear:
If the Balkanization of our society and our growing
multicultural wars are to end, then first rooting out
the classism among whites is a necessary step."
