Class

Last week I said that it is racist when White college educated people believe that the Black man cannot succeed without public assistance. My statement would have been more accurate if I had said White Ivy league types. David Brooks was a guy from the Midwest who has been in New York for so long he is part of the eastern establishment and he wrote in the Times: it's easy to understand why people in less-educated classes would conclude that they are under economic, political, cultural and moral assault and why they've rallied around Trump as their best warrior against the educated class. This idea of separating people based on class as illustrated by education is just one more example of identity politics. It is odd that the republicans are now the party of the low to middle income groups. The democrats see these people as deplorables. To quote Hillary they are racist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamaphobic.
