not just white. I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing about the "white working class." It's just the working class--of all colors. The GOP left them behind a long time ago and many Dems don't seem to give a rip either. Asking the Democratic Party to pay attention to economic issues is what it required. And is has nothing to do with "whiteness." It has to do with the fact that it is NOT OK to be "liberal" on social issues and side with big business on everything economic. You can't pay your rent with moral outrage.
