I can see how someone can hear “black people” - that’s what I heard the first time, but it doesn’t make sense in context. Unless he was thinking “black people” the whole time when he was talking about the dependent class and it just slipped out then. But he wasn’t, not in Iowa.

If you play White Rabbit Album backwards the Beatles tell you "John is Dead" ~ or something like that.

In reality the Beatles were saying "Blacks are dead".
