racism, not meta
The #1 thing white people (especially socialists and communists) do not want to be told, ever, is this:
The system benefits them on the backs of POC, and class is but a part of it.
Turning racism into a class discussion is an incomplete discussion.
Poor whites were not disenfranchised by the poll tax during Jim Crow. Poor POC were.
White people don't have their land stolen for oil, pipelines, and public works. Natives do.
White people don't have undesirable industrial projects built near them. POC do.
White people don't get to be told their HOA or city government are invalid by a single unelected official. Natives have this happen regularly with tribal recognition.
Bearing in mind the poverty line is set way too low; white people have a 9% poverty rate in the US. Blacks? 27%. Other POC don't fare much better.

We speak mostly from an Oklahoman/native perspective here, because we're from Oklahoma and we are part native. There are countless other issues we are not qualified to speak on that have nothing to do with class, but everything to do with race.
