re: #236 Kryptik in Mourning

But we’re not the ‘White Working Class’ therefore our concerns aren’t ‘real’ concerns, our wages aren’t ‘real’ wages, our outrages aren’t ‘real’ outrages, and we’re not ‘real’ Americans. That’s exactly what the lesson they keep trying to sell us is.

Exactly. I’m tired of the white working class being treated like they’re special snow flakes whose concerns mean more than the rest of us. As I said earlier, I really do sympathize with those who have lost their jobs due to outsourcing and automation but it does happen. I get when you’ve been a coal miner your whole life and you’re scared that you may have to learn a new job in the middle of your life. I get that. But I will not forgive or condone people who ignored Trump’s bigotry and ignored our concerns too.
