that helps poor people of all colors. the gop, for the same amount of time has opposed help for the poor. if some poor whites are fooled into voting their fears and prejudices against their own economic interests, I guess it will have to be that way. as demographics continue to move toward a more heterogeneous America and poor whites become even a smaller relative political force, they are likely to become even more fearful and hostile to the more pluralistic party, the dems. but the dems will continue to back programs that help poor whites just as they help all poor people.
