whilst its true that poor people have much in common, the old saying still holds true. "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you." and unfortunately a great deal of the white working class is very keen on falling for it.

@hellsunicorn Its important to identify who the powerful people are and what they are doing. The same people who scream about George Soroz have a tendency to completely ignore the Koch brothers, Goldmann Sachs and rothschields, who are way larger players, all because they play for the same team. Ironically enough, I don't see a whole lot of people on the left actually praising Soros.

@BobExcalibur absolutely true. but i do think that an ethnic miniority that went from slaves to 3rd class citizens and then just sort of remained there until most laws actively oppressing them went away by proxy do have a case in saying they were never really given enough opportunities to begin with. you're never going to see sprawling bountfiul cities of gold rise in the native american reservations because the very structure and concept of a reservation is to prevent that. as fun as it is to imagine that every society can just "rise from the ashes", after a while a population is so brow-beat by centuries of oppression the naive optimism has effectively left them, the dog-eat-dog struggle to survive itself becoming carved into public consciousness (look at Russia as example, where ever since genghis Khan the harsh living and poverty for the lower classes has been part and parcel of society.). the reason crime, glorification of crime (hip hop) are so prevalent in poverty struck black communities is because crime was the only fallback they had. not helped that rather than try to solve the drug problems affecting ALL americans the government instead declared a drug war aka a war upon its own citizenry. which only furthers defensiveness and resolve. understand, im not a fan of the "fuck whitey, give me reparations" style mentality either concerning the topic of race relations in america, and having black celebrities who rake in millions pretend to be slaves is (for lack of a better term) champagne civil rights. but at the same time to pretend that the only thing standing in the way of african americans is themselves is to ignore that every successful society, community and ethnicity needs to build themselves up, and black communities had historically been repeatedly kicked down.

@hellsunicorn oh, no doubt thats an issue. powerful people abuse the powerless. its also why the spokesperson for jesus, a figure who saw wealth and materialism as a bad thing, sits on a golden throne in a golden palace. People being dumb and unable to find the real culprit for their woes does not make their woes thusly invalid. solidarity would go a long way in mending most wounds in america, but that also requires you to look past superificial differences and work together despite them.

@hellsunicorn according to the catholics, the pope is god's representative, or at least the representative of the religion that represents god.
