Racism in this country was developed and encouraged to supplant economic division. We have been encouraged to identify with people of our own race so we don't focus on the real division of haves and have nots. Poor whites, for some reason identify with rich whites rather then their African-American neighbors in the same economic boat. This way a poor white man can rail against the minority woman he watched buy twinkies with an EBT card while he defends the white billionaire banker who is screwing him everyday.

We cannot fall into the trap. Our humanity unites us. Our station binds us and our recognition of this strengthens us. We have to be there for each other.
