What Does Not Change

Seeing a poor white man holding a sign reading, "Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people." touches my heart and stirs my memories. Reminds me of the history between rich whites and poor whites, who named poor whites 'crackers', and pitted them against themselves to vote against their best interests based upon the notion they were worthless, but had value because they were at least better than Colored folks. It is a psychology in full strength in today's political climate resistant to seeing itself as it truly is undermining the best in people. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.24.15
