What's your point here?


This is ahistorical, though. The North and South were only meaningfully integrated along the coasts, where proceeds from the slave and cotton trade supported the shipping industries and flowed into the coffers of early New England industrialists. The western frontiers had no links whatsoever to southern plantation economies. North & South in general weren't even fully economically integrated until the rail explosion of the late 19th century, well past the development of slavery.

Even in the South, yeomanry communities were essentially self-sustaining and didn't benefit at all from the economic processes of slavery. Whites in the south benefited from the slaveocracy, certainly, having a place in the middle rungs of the racial ladder. They did not, however, benefit materially. Planters covetously hoarded their wealth, and would only agree to finance public improvements in as far as they facilitated the transit of cotton to northern & European markets. The southern interior was massively underdeveloped.

White Americans from all social strata enjoy a higher quality of life to their global contemporaries throughout much of American history

The average Trump voter today has a higher income than the average Clinton voter

My point is, you can't begin to discuss socioeconomic issues without talking about race

Supporting MfA is the easiest political calculation any Democrat could make right now, and Pelosi still flubbed it.

She's the House leader and the de facto whip. If she were to support it she'd be expected to whip for it, which is the last thing she wants. She only whips in favor of cool stuff like cutting social security and deferring medicare to age 67 (circa 2011).

I have more of an issue with class traitors over the capitalists because they should know better - and lack of education isn't an excuse for not having eyes and ears. When your health insurance goes up 20% at your $10/hour job and it makes you have to chose between fixing your work-induced chronic back pain or paying the rent, your thoughts shouldn't be "ugh black people on medicaid don't have these worries!". I dunno I guess I'm taking from privilege?

Capitalists can be defeated by unity of the proletariat. Class traitors make that impossible.

this company made 5 million dollars last year profit off of 60 employees and refused to pay for our insurance premium hike this year, choosing instead to gimp our plan.

White Americans enjoyed higher qualities of life to "global contemporaries" because there was a ton of easily available land to be stolen and settled, which prevented the sheer scale of squalor that plagued European communities. To pretend, however, that this means there was a spread of wealth throughout all of white society is ahistorical, and to imply that the dirt poor rural whites of the era materially benefited from slavery is demonstrably false. It just simply isn't true.

To use the broad difference of wealth among whites as a race compared to others, in order to erase the white underclasses is liberal nonsense. The average Trump voter was an upper middle class petit bourgeois, not a rural dirtfarmer.
