Besotted with vicious and vacuous " identity politics " the Democratic Party continues to unmask racists and racism under every bed in the manner that old Joe McCarthy unmasked RED communists loyal to Moscow in " The Haunted Fifties " ( a book by I.F. Stone ) .
You would think that the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King ended as a sad failure.
I don't trust sanctimonious " liberal " zealots who see racism and nothing else . Most poor people are white in capitalist USA. They don't enjoy " white privilege " .Why are poor white kids invisible in the " liberal " news media ?
I voted for SOCIALISTS - not Trump -in 2016.
[Among Gilens’ findings:
– The portrayal of the poor as black began in the mid-1960s, coinciding with a shift toward more negative news coverage of poverty and welfare.
– Both the press and the public exaggerate the extent to which poverty is a black problem.
– 65 percent of poor Americans shown in network television news are African American.
– 62 percent of poor Americans shown in newsmagazines are black.
– In surveys, over half of the public says most poor people are black; only one out of four say most poor people are white.
– In reality, African Americans make up only 29 percent of the country’s poor. ]
