Howard Zinn: Self

Howard Zinn : Scapegoats!... The hope is that by deflecting the anger of people, which might be directed against the system itself, deflecting the anger against these other people, the system would save itself. In the South the black people became scapegoats, and directed the anger of white people. Poor white people in the South were the people who joined the KKK. These poor white people might have rebelled against the governmments of the South and against the national government, but now they were told that black people were the source of their problem.
