27. Do you assume all white people are of the upper class?
That's what it sounds like.

There are plenty of poor white people, in fact, probably more in numbers.

It's these people who fuel the resentment. I'm not angry, but I do run into those who are, and some of this stuff is not helping. If we want less racism, we need a new approach. The majority of whites are not wealthy, and the large white middle class is starting to get alienated because some of this stuff is so absurd. We all know Imus could refer to a group of blondes as bimbos and keep his job.
