Now, Michael Steele saying "I come from black people and we Republicans really could be reaching black folks," that's perfectly normal. (A pipe dream, thank God, but a normal thing to say.)

and yet "white working class" has never been stationed relative to "working class" in a way at all similar to how "wealthy blacks" is stationed relative to "black people."

part of that is, of course, sheer political math: wealthy blacks don't vote that differently than poor blacks. But part of it is... you guessed it, white supremacy!!
