I was forming a favorable opinion of  Senator Elizabeth Warren when I watched her on TV . " Save the middle class " was her refrain.

 But I reflected : why not talk about " saving the working class ". And for decades the white working class in general was either invisible to the mainstream news media or treated with contempt.

 If you're a poor white, you had no excuse but laziness and ignorance. If you were a poor black, you were a victim of racism. The black bourgeoisie just could never SEE poor whites. But American socialists could.

Truth : most poor people in this country are white. Most homeless people are white. A white person without adequate health insurance does not discover any " white privilege " in the health care system. A white person without education does not discover any " white privilege " in the job market. A poor white is treated no better in prison than poor blacks.

A mob of university " intellectuals " just lie about the condition of the white working class. America right now reminds me of the Engels classic: " The Condition of the Working Class in England " written way back in 19th century.

CLASS matters far more than race and gender in trying to understand social inequality. But the ruling class has made socialism anathema even in academia.

But America will soon look like Cairo, Egypt in 2011.
