Is that novel???

I sort of doubt this historical narrative that whiteness was this golden ticket in the past. There were plenty of poor whites in all eras...

Additionally, I don't see much evidence of convergence between black and white incomes in the last few decades. Health yes, incomes no...

I wonder if, say, lower 30-50% of black incomes have converged with lower 20% of white incomes, though. Maybe not!

Shrug. Certainly the sociocultural/emotional value of whiteness has declined relative to minorities. Idk about material conditions.

You mean, before, only minorities felt shat upon by American culture, and now everyone feels shat upon? :-)

Iol, yes but also I seriously think "being white" consciously or unconsciously played into ppl's self-worth to a greater degree in the past.

Obviously expressed as "being mainstream" or "being the heartland" or "being salt of the earth" but in a way that reduced to white culture.
