Then really shouldn't it be "everything is about money"? After all, it's clear that the actual lie is convincing a big group of people that they don't share a common cause. Racism has many causes, but using it as a divide and conquer tactic has to be one of the most disgusting ones.
And those that haven’t lived in the south can’t comprehend that it really is the core animating belief behind the entire apparatus of government.
