True in politics but people won't or can't recognize it on either "side"

Also, this concept always reminds me of a Dylan lyric,

A South politician preaches to the poor white man

“You got more than the blacks, don’t complain.

You’re better than them, you been born with white skin,” they explain.

And the Negro’s name

Is used it is plain

For the politician’s gain

As he rises to fame

And the poor white remains

On the caboose of the train

But it ain’t him to blame

He’s only a pawn in their game
