Joan Walsh New Book: White Analyst Calls Out Republicans Veiled Racism With New Book | Breaking News for Black America
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.
Got to love this,
Far too many White Americans especially those who do not come from wealth or privilege dont understand the extent to which theyve had help"
what govt. program was that?
back breaking work in a coal mine ?
what a fucking lie
PS it's from The Root the hate whitey rag. I'm certain their perspective is unbiased.
That's why this issue is raised with RICH PEOPLE....rather-than you education-challenged FAUX Noise fans.
"There's nowhere else in the world, nowhere else in the world, that people can accrue the kind of fortunes that happen here. And that's because of the kind of country we have.
And the kind of country we have is a function of the taxes that we pay to provide security, we have a stable market, you can predict next week will be pretty much like the week before.
We have the most immense investment being made by our government in advancing businesses by supporting the enormous research industry that's going on in this country. And it's that piece of government expenditure that which has everything to do with the health and robustness of our economy."
