[Alas Babylon!]

A wide variety of historical, economic and cultural forces combine to allow a larger percentage of whites to climb up the socioeconomic ladder than Blacks and Hispanics.

Starts out with a lie.

If it is true, how do you explain poor whites? Millions in Appalachia and in the industry-dying Midwest?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

In a way there is can be some truth to the statement, for example, if you drive into a McDonalds are all you see are blacks or tattooed up hispanics, are you going to stop and eat or get the hell out of there?

I will get the hell out of there. And whites will avoid black areas in favor of shopping in white areas, but that’s just plain self preservation in action.
