(27,787 posts)As you correctly noted earlier, one can make less than 50k a year and still not see themselves as less successful than they think they should be.
So the question is not that 50% of white men make less than 50k a year, and they all think they should be more successful than they are. I have another friend who is a social worker. He makes less than 50k, he does not see himself as less successful than he should be.
My comment was about white men, regardless of their income, who think they should be more successful than they are, and who also blame minorities for that situation. I know and have met plenty of them.
The GOP uses this btw ... this is why Santorum said "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money." Of course after, he claimed he said "Blah" people.
But look at his actual statement ... who do you think the "other people" are? Santorum is talking to white people who feel that the government is taking from them, and giving to black people.
Santorum is speaking to the group I refer to.
