39. Of course, a poor white can educate himself out of being poor,
but a poor black cannot educate himself out of being black. (Though gawd knows enough black republicans keep trying).

There is a REASON for 20% of whites living in poverty, and 40% of blacks living in poverty - there IS a racial dimension to the class war and for those who deliberately are discriminating, race, not class, is the determining factor.
