...the same thing happened after the Civil War when Blacks were freed and could vote and run for office...that only lasted a few years before whites began telling trashier whites that no matter how low they were, how poor and ignorant and happy to stay that way, at least when Blacks had been kept in slavery there was someone WORSE off than they were...and that started Jim Crow rolling and soon no Blacks could vote or hold office or walk down a sidewalk or sit in a restaurant..and the Federal government was okay with that because the South voted democratic...

..it's a fiction, a fantasy of poor white trash that they would be SOMEBODY if only...if only a Black man or woman or Gay person or Mexican or Muslim, didn't STEAL their opportunity away from them.

It's an excuse they give themselves for their own lack of ability or ambition...to these people it's always someone elses fault that they didn't succeed...like BetSolomon who could have been SOMEBODY if only Arabs didn;t rob him of his rights!
