Like the Kochs or the MIC are not doing better than ever! O' how the tide was turned by your strength against this foul folk!
Ingrates! What swollen pride is that?!? That that false nobility and shove it, run off to the regressives if they serve your needs because fuck no your fake ass sacrifices will never be appreciated because they are vapor.
Your "sacrifice" is to toss a few crumbs to poorest of the poor while savagely yanking up the ladders to prosperity behind you.
Poor, poor "we built that" Democrats, what would come of us without your noble sacrifices.
You aren't really an advocate for minorities if you would close off our horizons, leave us destitute, and do nothing or even cheer as we are driven toward poverty and ambitions for us and our children crushed.
There is no picking here. If you don't care about my prosperity and opportunities then you don't give a shit about my rights except as a means to maintain or grow your own.
AND
If you claim to care about my prosperity and opportunities but aren't interested in my rights then you are using me to support and increase your own.
In America though being broke or even struggling is a set of self perpetuating problems that is brutal and the Venn diagram of the poor, near poor, and working at a living wage but closer to poor than most can admit and of minorities is some serious correlation.
The percentage of minority people outside the convergence is significantly less than it is for whites.
The intersection of class and race concerns is substantial, far too substantial to pretend any serious interest in the needs of race while blowing off the same's economic interests. It is delusion at best and a willful lie to protect those class interests at worse.
