        The problem is that this assumes that desperate people in what sounds like dire straits equates to average.

        THIS is a PERFECT example of just how ignorant most white people are about AAs...painfully ignorant. But at least you're not alone.

        do these "average" black Americans reside within the same coded community as "blue collar/working class" Americans?
