I am a poor white person and none of what you say is true of me, or any other poor white people I regularly interact with. Granted there are people in my economic demographic who could be described as you say....but it's probably best to specify 'some' instead of making blanket generalizations.


I'm poor and white, too. I admit, I probably over-generalized. But I think it's safe to say, those poor whites who are given to racism and any other form of bigotry are almost certainly inspired by fear that they are about to lose what little they have to some other group that just wants to get ahead.


What has been lost which has been a lot also.

The thing you need to grasp is, it is not the n****rs or the spics or the homos or those man-hating feminist c***s taking things away from you.

It's mostly other whites.

PS

The idea that generalizing is bad is just PC police propaganda!! !
:P
