Again, you demonize me too much with this "white man's burden" nonsense. I never meant to imply that racism is as simple as black man great, white man evil. However and again, just because its not that simple doesn't mean that even in the 21st century its an anachronism. As to you comments about the Appalachians, you realize that even those regions are upwards of 50% black like most of the South? It is a myth in America that Appalachia is predominantly white. Further, of course white people are victim to poverty, including in the Appalachias, shit, including in my own life. However, this somehow doesn't negate the impact of racism on the systemic poverty of black and brown folks across the past 400 or so years, and as shown by that map continuing today as much as ever..
