Untrue. They are angry because they are forced to support the rest of the poor.

So this would mean that the less racist a person is the more "evolved" they are. This would also mean that the more racist a person is the more they have in common with dumb animals.

That's because of the entitlement that comes from living in the U.S.

Poor whites see the U.S. as "their country" more so than any other racial group. So they feel like they are entitled to certain things "first" simply because they are white. When someone from a minority group outshines them economically they believe "their country" is being taken away from them.

On other forums many whites have verbalized this.. that America is a white country first. Therefore, the norm should be whites above all others and minorities below whites.

This is something the Republican party exploits to get votes from poor whites. However, the Republican party does not care about poor whites (or the common man) anymore than they care about poor blacks or poor hispanics. The reality is.. neither party cares about poor people. They just pretend so they can secure votes. And this happens election after election, yet the morons on both sides still don't get it lol.

Which actually went on Steroids post Citizen United decision!! The corns then became hidden under the guise of Super Packs where they could hide their identities..thus hide their control of whomever they were backing.

Republicans often favor corrupt business men over corrupt politicians. A common solution to a problem is "privatize it". As if corporations are more trustworthy than the government. Add a profit motive to something and that pretty much guarantees corruption.

They don't see it this way because they think of businesses like the small mom & pop stores. What they fail to realize is that once a business grows to a certain size it is forced to become corrupt to sustain its growth.

Saying "wow" doesn't make it false.

Do you have a counter argument or are you just going to stand there in shock?
