The Rhode's Scholar

I do not understand why people were surprised that the Clinton campaign, led by former President Bill Clinton, were comfortable with moves, both in words and deeds, to split the races apart in the democratic primaries. After all, Bill Clinton is a Rhodes' Scholar. You may ask what that means. I am quoting from the Wikipedia here: "Rhodes' Scholarship was named after Cecil Rhodes. There has been some controversy over the original aim of the Rhodes' Scholarships as it has been alleged that Rhodes held racist opinions about the superiority of the Anglo race, and that his intention was to use the scholarships to educate future foreign leaders in Britain so that they could help spread British influence when they returned to their home countries". Bill Clinton is a proud product of that arrangement. Observations of British policies from the 1920s in Asia, Middle East and Africa to the present day show the effectiveness of the theory of divide and rule. In the United States, our progressive friends are masters at pitting blacks against latinos, females against males, smart against the dull, short against the tall and all in the interest of social justice. Would it not have been better just to realise that no matter how each one of us looks like, we are all human beings? It is time to stop voting against our own interests!
