Multi-cultural CLASS prejudice

 I deeply believe that hateful bigotry is an enemy of ALL humanity.

    And so I was struck by this sentence in a front page article about the

    latest URI race incident  ( Dec. 13 , by Marion Davis )  :" They ( blacks)

    don't get the same service as whites... "  ... are " sometimes presumed

    to be JANITORS or WELFARE QUEENS, or THUGS . "

           Is Marion Davis completely oblivious of her CLASS smear here ? Is

    an honest, hard working JANITOR  on the same pariah level as THUGS and

    WELFARE QUEENS ?

           Back , white, yellow,  hispanic , or American Indian  - the poor

    oppressed JANITOR just not count, does not have any claim to our hearts !

          I have believed for many years now that CLASS SNOBBERY has been

    ignored even by the traditional Left -Wing. And that is why the LEFT is

    in such a world wide rut .

         I just saw the play " Les Miserables " on video. I was very moved by

    hearing all the actors  who played Jean Val Jean - so many different

    nationalities and races - sing all together at the end of the  musical :

           " Do you hear the people sing ... ?  "


      Well JANITORS are people too!
