That's because they want to be white. Just like people want to be a HAVE so they vote with the HAVES, not realizing that they are really a HAVE NOT.
Dangle some buabbles in from on them (like a salary, paid vaction, health care, and a little power over the other slaves), and there's a whole class of slaves more than ready to do the bidding of the masters.

"I have no fear of the working class because I know I can always pay one worker to kill another."
News flash! If you aren't rich then you aren't really a republican. Because in the end, they are going to send your job overseas too, or replace you with a illegal immigrant. That's why they bring up wedge issues like gays and guns and god.
I suspect many of the fuctionaries of this system understand perfectly well they will never be invited to sit at the masters' tables.
But since they're better off being the masters loyal lapdogs than truthtellers, they'll winning to swear that the KING is wearing the most beautiful clothes ever made in history, and more than happy to repress anyone foolish enough to openly acknowldge out that the KING is naked as a bluejay.
Just remember, the rich would rather have a rich gay, a rich anti gun person or a rich athiest living next door to them than your broke ass.
We are one of the most class conscious nation on earth.
And the way we pull that off is to pretend that pracitally everyone is in the middle class.
A family making $17000 a year? Middle class
A family making 170,000 a year? Middle class.
What lunacy we sign onto, eh?
MOST AMERICANS are POOR folks.
Wake up.
