POC aren’t recognized/allowed to have economic anxiety. Maybe status anxiety captures what I see better than economic anxiety.

Not sure why you say POC aren't allowed to have economic anxiety. De-industrialization helped decimate inner cities.

if you look at media and what’s been talked about in election, it’s all white working class. Sanders,Trump both about wwc.

I disagree. You may not like Sanders but that he was just talking about the white working class is ... just not true.

you can find interviews with him just prior to his run where he specifically talked about wwc. He wanted to get them back from GOP.

How is that a bad thing? I'd hope that's a Clinton aim, too. That doesn't make his campaign about the wwc.

and the point is, when we’ve tried to address working class problems, race is always an issue. Wwc doesn’t want to pay for POC.

That's why you introduce policies that are not separable like that. "Their parents are racist" so let their children sink?

no, not at all. Absolutely not. Address the Econ issues. But this is my problem with the Econ/race question and which it is.

if they’re the same, addressing Econ sufficient. Tried that, hasn’t worked. That’s why older POC never warmed to Sanders.

There is zero argument being made by anyone credible (not random person) I've seen "do econ policy only" drop anti-racism.

but if you only talk about Econ, older POC are rightly going to be suspicious that they will be sold out at compromise time.

this has gotten a bit off my point, which is why the race part feels like a bigger deal. I get that they’re intertwined, but…
