As someone who hates politics I love this response.

I expect you would, because it "feels" right and confirms your worldview about poor whites being "just as bad off" as poor urban minorities. It's unfortunately wrong about almost everything. I know you "hate politics", but please look this stuff up. We've long since run out of time for people who "hate politics" to have the luxury of ignorance.

  When telling someone something is wrong, you should provide links so they can actually learn something. Otherwise it's not actually going to change anyone's view.

    Pfft, like that makes a difference. People have every ability to look stuff up themselves if they're so interested. If they don't it must be they aren't that interested. Why's that going to change because some random person online, with whom you disagree, gives you a direct link?

  Minorities in the cities face major issues and there are large movements aimed specifically at helping with them and to show their empathy. A major one was black lives matter. I think there needs to be more for different races such as Muslim and Latin descents. But where is the support for a large piece of America. Rural America. It is a LARGE piece of America, even larger than black America. And unfortunately that gap in empathy was filled by Trump, which places us where we are now. And please don't mix that statement up with me liking Trump. I understand how that could be read that way. I am just thinking about my friends in rural America that are facing very real problems and I care about them.

    Your responses have been mentioning people outside Rural America lacking empathy, but if we wanted to help them what would we do? Is there support within Rural America for improving Rural America? What groups are they organizing that we can help publicize? Which organizations should we be reaching out to?
