That's not what I'm saying.

Even though their social standing is higher, their reality ain't no different. That's it.

Breh, you're social standing is your reality. Those poor whites have a higher social standing than poor black people. That means they have access to loans and jobs that black people don't have access to. It's why that poor whites with a criminal record can get jobs that black people with college degrees can't get.

Not disagreeing with you at all on that.

Poor Appalachian whites are fukked up and just as fukked up as poor black people if not worse.

Now if it came down to a choice of benefits between them and us, of course they get the nod. I think that is universally understood.

The thing I don't like is that all nikkaz are grouped together and these poor whites get treated like they don't even exist. They don't count for some reason when they are a higher population than all nikkaz combined and shyt.

She isn't dismissing race at all. She is including class into the debate
She is dismissing race and you are too.

This was most likely taught to you by your white friends to get you to stop focising on racism and address classism which is the only thing that affects white people.

Basically after classism is addressed it will just be black people at the bottom and white people at the top.

Your naive ass cant even see that you are being used.

Wrong.

Poor whites are always treated like they exist. Most white employers hire poor whites before any black person.

Even though it's an old book, I feel like this book put in well about the difference between poor blacks and poor whites. Being poor is tough, but it's harder for poor blacks.

But some poor people can easily do better if they use their resource, and I know in NYC, there are many resources for Poor Blacks, especially HIV patients, veteran's and mentally disabled. I mean, we can't look at it as having it harder, it just won't help us get anywhere.

That's my take, I could be wrong, don' give a fukk, fukk the world.

Actually I learned it from Gene Debs, WEB DeBois, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X

You don't realize you are playing right into game of exploitation, you are a capitalist shill and nothing more.

:patrice: This is why the black community is devoid of an intellectual spirit

Its very black and white and shallow based thinking. You have no depth. You see the sky, you know its blue but you don't know why nor do you attempt to figure out why.

Contrary to you, I don't lack depth in my thinking. I have done my own research, my own thinking, my own logical put together on social conditions.

The conclusion is that racism is a spawn off of capitalist exploitation, practically every black intellectual in the early 20th century acknowledged that. Racism and classism go hand in hand.


That problem is that you have empty headed negroes like yourself who think exactly like poor dumb whites, shallow thinking devoid of perspective. You don't know who to connect concepts, facts and events.


I put alot of that towards the horrendous American education system that teaches facts but doesn't teach concepts. Too much rigidity.

A whole bunch of insults yet your actual sayings are so little.

The problem is that yes classism is an issue but you and her are lowkey downplaying the issue racism and yet you fail to realize it.

If you would focus more on concepts and facts at the same time and less on insults then you would have more constructive thoughts.

How are poor whites in a worse situation than black people when they have access to resources poor blacks don't have access to?

Name the banks that are targeting poor whites discriminating against them?

If you’re poor, your mortgage rate can depend on the color of your skin

The authors estimate that, all else being equal, black Americans were 7.7 percentage points more likely to have a high-interest mortgage. That’s a 54 percent increased risk.
