... colored man he won't notice you picking his pockets"

2. Because it hurts women and people of color.

5. +1000

This. This is their goal. Rich, white, christian, republican men who are so afraid of losing their dominance. I hope they all burn in hell.

6. But it's not just "the rich." White people who are lower or middle class express less support for

public programs when they learn the benefits might help minorities, even if those programs would also help themselves. They would rather go without than raise all boats.

7. Yes, you are right. It is now a government of spite.

There is no logic to it. It is all about the spite, resentment and hatred of those who think that minorities, women and other marginalized groups whom they think are responsible for their lack of success.

The truth is that the rich white men are using this prejudice to control this demographic to take the heat off themselves. They are the ones who are controlling the population and bending them to their will. The lower and middle classes go along with it, but it is the rich, white male who is pulling all the strings.

3. Republicans have been convinced that government is the problem.

Republicans have been convinced that government is the problem. So the only point of politics is to own the libs.
