(9,126 posts)Whites are in the minority and people are working their fingers to the bone just to survive. They want racial justice just as much as anyone, but no one would say that that is somehow seperate from economic justice. They want to see their children rather than working three jobs. They want their children to have a better life and go to college and get good jobs. They fear being one healthcare crisis away from living on the street. They are so tired yet they still lose sleep at night worrying about keeping a roof over their heads and the bills that never stop.
The black, brown and Asian people who make up my community are doing exactly what they've been told to do: work hard and life will be ok. But it's not ok, not by a longshot. And even though the current occupant of the White House isn't a white male, things have not really improved for them at all. And they would be less than thankful for white, upper middle class dilettantes telling them that they don't deserve to live anything but lives of desperation. They might get banned from this board with their response.
