There has been a great deal of interest in poor white America by liberals who they blame helped Donald Trump get elected. As a rare educated poor white American myself who is also not a Trump supporter I would like to opine on this as a white American who has been all too familiar with poverty his entire life where I would like to dispel some myths regarding our plight.
First off, it is a myth that the most wealthy of Americans are white Europeans, this hasn’t been the case for almost a hundred years now. Actually the most wealthy of Americans are Ashkenazi Jews who don’t identify themselves racially as being white or even culturally European. Also, other racial or ethnic groups mainly through foreign immigration have more wealth accumulated than even the most traditionally white very wealthy Americans do. There are public statistics for this and are not hard to find with an internet search engine. White Americans in no way constitutes the most wealthy in the United States and for whatever reason get lumped up with Ashkenazi Jews. What an interesting subject it would be if people started talking about the disproportionate amount of wealth accumulated by Ashkenazi or Hasidic Jews. Public discourse would change dramatically in this country but I don’t foresee this being the forefront of national discourse any time soon for obvious reasons.
Secondly, poor whites have been put to the back of the bus economically for several decades with racial affirmative action programs which is why we don’t see our struggle as being the same to a poor African American or Mexican American. As long as this sort of government intervening protectionism of so called minorities exist at our collective expense (demise) poor white America will remain suspicious of everything and everyone. Poor white America has no friends or allies where we are left to fend for ourselves the most part. So no, poor African Americans and Mexicans are not our allies where they can’t even comprehend our struggle as the most ignored or reviled class of America. There is nothing more hated or despised in the United States than poor white people. We are given a free pass at every turn to mock, ridicule, and ignore by everybody which probably explains the low mortality rate of poor white Americans especially given latest drug usage epidemics. You put one and two together where it isn’t fucking rocket science to comprehend. When concerning about helping poor low income America everybody always talks about black or hispanic social issues but when the poor white population comes to the fray there is only dead silence to be heard everywhere. Nobody wants to talk about it and nobody cares.
Now, is it stupidity that most of poor white America votes for the zionist neoconservative republican party that just like the democrats only represent the interests of corporate Wallstreet? Yes, it is! I’ll be the first to admit that it is what a majority of those within the same socio economic ladder as I am are not intelligent enough to see it for themselves. As a poor white American I’ve become so disillusioned to the point I don’t even believe in voting anymore. It is an ongoing tragedy that few like myself are forced to contend with in silence. The political elite in this country learned long ago that to control the underlings of the white population you first prey upon them with religion, duty, easy money, and patriotism of which a majority of white people are proned towards. It is one of the reasons why people of poor white America have become mindless drones of zionist crony capitalism today which has been a successful social engineering exploit of theirs for the course of almost an entire century. It is why a very zionist neoconservative like Donald Trump was elected by this particular demographic very easily.
I have no illusions that Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck about poor white America whatsoever. I know this all too well.
I’m always amused that liberals, socialists, and marxists are perplexed by poor white people given the fact they never make any attempt to understand us as a demographic or class of people. If you don’t try to communicate with us, what exactly do you expect? From what I can see all your assumptions about us are all terribly inept, laughable, or fool hardy.
Have any of you really tried reaching out to the most intelligent of us to see what our beliefs or perceptions are on things? No, I didn’t think so either!
