28. The President needs to talk directly to lower economic class Whites. The racism we are seeing

may be more about some people feeling left out by all of the excitement amongst non-Whites and various "elites". Now that women are on the rise, lower economic class white males in particular are probably feeling assaulted all around. This isn't necessary, but no one is showing them that it isn't. They think they are left out.
