If anything the black and brown poor have much more in common with the poor redneck but all are divided, isolated and distrustful in the end.. Sorry to insert myself in your and Ted's thread but your post strongly resonated with me...I concur with in its entirety, based on my traveling and living in different regions of the US over the years.... But your above statement resonated deeply because I've seen it with my very own eyes.....most clearly in the Boston ER where I moonlighted during the 80s/90s....I remember wondering, "how come these folk don't realize they have so much in common?"...... I've heard that in the 20th C. politicians in NYC purposely created divisions with the hispanic and black communities...God knows they've done it down south since there was a south... Reading this thread between you and Ted reaffirms my belief that every child after graduating college or high school, if they reject college, go traveling across our country.....even if it means doing odd or what they'd consider menial jobs for those whose parents can't afford to finance it... Not just the beautiful state parks.....but live amongst the people, go to the coffee shops and diners...learn about how needs and dreams and desires are all the same for every one of us, no matter one's station in life.
