OUR COMMON GROUND\xa0with Janice Graham\n \xa0"Speaking Truth to Power and Ourselves"\nFear Mongering to Win\n \xa0The rich on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line have long exploited racism to keep themselves rich and divide the poor, the higher percentage of blacks in the south has always meant that "keeping them in their place" works better at driving white people's fear. Since the Repubs don't have anything to offer the poor-- indeed, they're more of a target than a constituency-- fear mongering is ...an irresistible means of winning an election.
