Food for thought:
"United we Stand, divided we fail". The Motto of the Kentucky? How would the people of Kentucky allow McConnell to continue to divide We the People?
This is done through
racism.
Republican leadership live by the creed that if they can keep the poorest whites
angry at Black people, they'll win every time.
Seems to be a very
successful and
winning formula for the
Republican Party.
. . and what do you think the poorest whites' reaction will be when, what little they have, go to reparations programs, ostensibly, for maybe folks better off than they are?
Do you think that will unite or divide us as a nation?
The poorest whites are either drug or alcohol dependent, and/or poorly or uneducated, or disabled. I infer you are defining those who can't secure employment in minimum wage jobs, and live on the dole. Of course not only the whites, but other minorities fit the same demographic.
Competition for higher paying jobs, such as civil service, which provides benefits (health Insurance and Retirement, sick leave and vacations) is competitive, meaning they must have at least a high school diploma, and in some cases a GED, and be able to pass a written test (or such as a typing test) and/or an oral interview. And of course the ambition to want to work.
