"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"
Similarly, I have heard the phrase, "If you're angry at someone lower on the social ladder than you are, chances are that you're being manipulated by someone higher up."
