O.K. -- I just have to say this because it is really starting to get on my nerves. With all the election news, we keep hearing about how Hillary has more blue-collar uneducated white people supporting her. UGH! Does anyone gets this???? This is what I hear when the media uses that classification of people. I hear "ignorant, dumb, chain-smoking, beer-drinking, stupid, (or is that the same thing as dumb?) racist white trash" Oh, now, don't get indignant with me. I may be white and I don't wear a white collared shirt to work...but I'm not stupid....and I do know that this "classification" is supposed to mean "hard-working" --- or that is what they would like the BCUWP to think they mean. "Hard-working" "Scrappy" (scrappy? where did I get that...) "Long Suffering" "Good Hearted" ? "Tough" .....heavy sigh....I don't know. I just know that I am supposed to be one of those BCUWP's -- but darn it. I am educated....just don't have a degree. But, guess what? Nobody is going to plant the seeds of racism in me by trying to make me feel unappreciated or overlooked by a black candidate. Please. Can we get past race....someday????? I am so sick of it.
Hillary is trying to use race and education (or the lack thereof) and social status as a means to reach out to poor, pitiful, ignorant people like me. (rolling my eyes)....it just makes me want to scream. It is demeaning to all of us -- all of us as citizens of this country.
So, if the uneducated are supporting her ......then would she prefer to keep them uneducated? Because....if they/we/all of us would just "git edumacated" we might discover the freakin' truth! -----and support Barack. He has integrity. He commands respect. He is humble, yet confident. He has this working-class white girl's vote.
