Well you're wrong, what else can I say. You think you are so right that anything that disagrees with your position must be a racial power issue. It just isn't like that. It is definitely part of it - dont get me wrong, but the much much bigger part is actual policy issues.
- ubernostrum 10y agoWell you're wrong, what else can I say. An articulate and well-reasoned rebuttal. You think you are so right that anything that disagrees with your position must be a racial power issue. I think I've read my history book. I think this has happened before. I think the economic system that working-class white people without college degrees favor is one that only worked so long as people with the "wrong" skin color were either held in literal bondage or legally prohibited from competing with people who had the "right" skin color. I think the past century has seen an enormous effort to tear down the system which protected those white working-class non-college-educated people from competition, on grounds that this sort of protectionism is morally odious. I think the "economic anxiety" of Trump voters is nothing more than a yearning for a return to that sort of protectionism. I think it's possible many of them are viewing history through extremely rose-colored glasses in order not to see the magnitude of the evil that had to be perpetrated to maintain their position, but that doesn't excuse it.
- jessedhillon 10y agoCan you articulate your position instead of giving single-sentence dismissals?
- hubert123 10y agoWhat's the point? You're clearly not capable of seeing that his paragraph amounts to a single sentence dismissal as well.
