It is pointless to racialize poverty in America

   The figures show it is pointless to racialize poverty in America . But the absolute number of poor whites exceeds the so called minority. I have a somewhat impish nephew -very Nordic looking white- who says he applied for " affirmative action " while taking courses at CCRI. He did feel like a minority on the Warwick Campus, he said.
These periodic poverty reports might make a naïve reader think that sincere " liberals " like Governor Gina Raimondo are working on the problem- even losing sleep over the vexing problem of poor kids in Rhode Island. But the problem somehow defies her " brilliance " and feminist woman's touch.
The TRUTH : The American ruling class has no plan at all to end poverty in Rhode Island or in any other state-like poor North Carolina.
Mass poverty is an inevitable consequence of capitalist economics and private property rights.
What socialists -even " socialist " Democrats like Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont-question is the worship of the Golden Calf.
We need a national debate on the legitimacy of " legitimate " wealth. " The Donald " is right about this : the American Dream is dead.
