17. It shows that he hasn't understood that racism and poverty are not one issue

But rather two interconnected issues. In GD: P many BS supporters are arguing that even if white people live in poverty, there are lots of things they don't have to worry about. They claim that that means that white people don't live in ghettos even if they live in poor neighborhoods. They don't see how they undermine the very argument their candidate has made the main issue of his campaign. Racism won't be solved by getting all (Black) kids off street corners, and giving all Black adults a job, because it isn't (solely) poverty that is the reason for discrimination.
