Joan Walsh New Book: White Analyst Calls Out Republican’s Veiled Racism With New Book | Breaking News for Black America
Got to love this,
During the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney and company unveiled a new slogan: we built it. In an interesting interview, Joan Walsh, author of Whats the Matter With White People?: Why We Long For a Golden Age That Never Was and MSNBC political analyst, discusses how the Republicans focus on individual success and the we-built-that mentally is racially coded language that pits Whites, particularly working class, against Black and Brown people, causing powerful, conscious divides that keep many Whites voting against their own interests. Walsh then goes a step further to contend that these false idioms and various isms shed light on why many Whites are known to reminisce on a golden era that never was, without realizing that many of the strides they made as immigrants in this country were actually made because of government programs that they benefited greatly from, which is a direct counter to the Republicans platform, reports the Root.
