When you were/are poor, did you ever consider joining a hate group?

5. That's an oversimplification

Maybe a more relevant one is; "Is your or your parent's economic oppression a result of affirmative action?" It is so much a part of the mind set that allows people to blame an outside force for their own failures. Or worse, the failure of white America to stand up for them. Casual racism is buried in conventional wisdom.
It goes much deeper than a basic cause and effect. White people making the mistake of ignoring the subtlties perpetuate the false idea that people who enable white supremacy are generally bad people. Thus, making fragile whites feel more comfortable because they can't be defenders of white supremacy because those are the people who wear white robes and hoods, participate in violence, or use the n word.

Oooops that's dad, uncle Bob, my co-workers, or maybe I've let jokes slide by without question a time or two.
