What determines social mobility in America?
The phony assertion that race trumps economic class in determining social status is contradicted by the everyday life experience of white working class " deplorables ". Even poorly educated whites know the bitter truth about their own lives.
" White privilege " will get you nowhere in a courtroom if you cannot afford a competent lawyer . It will get you nowhere with medical doctors if you have inadequate health insurance . It will get you nowhere in the education system if your family is low income. It will get you nowhere in prison if you are convicted of a crime.
" White Privilege " will not even get you a lousy job if you are unemployed - and " affirmative action " rules in hiring. " White privilege " does not make you less miserable or neglected if you are homeless or mentally ill. It might not help much if you are a " suspicious " character ( having robbed a gum ball machine ? ) and a cop has an impulse to execute you on the spot.
If you are a BITTER working class white person , you did have that splendid right to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election - who is clearly making America great again.
But having learned your lesson, you will surely vote for " progressive " Democrats in 2018 and 2020 ?
In truth, if you are clearly WHITE but an obvious LOSER , you have nobody to blame but your lazy, shiftless self.
