171. That's not particular to rich vs poor
It's also true for black vs white, male vs female, atheist vs believer, able bodied vs disabled, and pretty much every class you can think of vs every other class.
Sympathy is the ability to care about someone who doesn't walk in your shoes, even if you can't fully understand what their experiences are. So while it may be true that HRC doesn't have genuine sympathy for those less fortunate, I don't believe this has much if anything to do with her socioeconomic status and a lot more to do with how she reads on the shitbag meter. Consider Clarence Thomas who was born into abject poverty in the epicenter of the racist South, yet now pulls the ladder up in front of everyone who comes after him. So while Thomas might have empathy for the poorest minorities, he certainly has no sympathy for them. |
