Poor Whites more likely to be racists.

31. that's an unkind accusation

I do not know the OP poster but how do you know his experiences? They may differ from yours.

If you were ever to walk into a Wal-Mart ( ) in the South and try to have a conversation with clientele who appear the poorest, you will get this attitude loud and clear. Remember what Lyndon Johnson said?

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
- Lyndon B. Johnson

A lot of American economic and social policy can be read using this Rosetta stone. The entirety of the conservative/libertarian economic strategy of transferring the social burden of the rich to the middle class and poor is to get them to demonize, as Paul Krugman put it, "those people", and blind them about their own increasingly exploited situation.

On edit: I re-read and now understand that you took offense for the OP blaming the poor for their own situation, which was unfair of the OP. Often folks are poor through no fault of their own. I take great offense to the fact that some poor people, especially most southern disadvantaged white bigots, do indeed blame the AA community for their situation. These bigots are also Rush Slimball fans, uneducated and mostly ineducable. Dylann Roof, for example.
