While often complex, at its most basic both racism and sexism are mechanisms used by rich white men to deflect resentment of their entitlement & privilege onto groups that have spent years, decades trying to combat the prejudices they have confronted.

Their very success makes them a useful target of mis-direction when the entitled are looking to shift the blame for poverty, lack of opportunity & social exploitation.

The only really dangerous minority are the rich!

@ChrisMayLA6 Nowhere more visible than Nixon initiating the war on drugs. Enabling black people to be arrested and starving the protest movement. With a side order of targeting student protesters too.
