@deloresflower...if it were that simple...you are naive or ignorant
I don't disagree with the general sentiment of your position-obviously these distinctions are social, but it doesn't get us very far in understanding. The problem is that it completely ignores history and issues of class. The problem with race in this country isn't that there are morons who are part of the Klan or good liberals who feel self-satisfied because they can look down on rednecks who say nigger or a presidential candidate who did or didn't say something.
It is incredibly unfortunate that this forum can only discuss the issue of whether Hilary might be a closet Klan member It let's ALL OF off the hook by letting us point fingers and be self-righteous. Instead of asking questions about the environment and carbon trading or how the middle class is defined we are worried about complete BS.
The question of school funding and how the middle class is defined is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. Not to mention the criminal justice system.
