      Ahhh yes. Superiority flex from people who had no choice in their skin color either. LBJ, who had his own problems with racism, spoke this truth that will stand the test of time:

      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.
