Poor white people are still racist. White women are still racist. They just don't have the money to act on it alone

Poor white people are still racist. White women are still racist. They just don't have the money to act on it alone. That's why class-based and gender-based solutions will never move the needle on anti-black education, employment, or housing discrimination.

Those solutions will just enable more white people to move to gated communities, send their kids to private schools, and build newer subdivisions in white-flight counties engineered to have fewer black people about.

The problem with helping out poor white people isn't financial; it's that America makes white people racially incompetent.

Why should I organize with someone to help them get a gun, if I know they are going to use it to shoot my cousin in the foot.
