Maybe the help is actually doing them more harm than good. At least for the whites in the same position, they pretty much know no one is going to come along and help them -- if they want to be helped they're going to have to do themselves. No one feels sorry for poor low class whites, just like the blacks, whites also figure they have a chance to do it on their own. Once you become one of those "my people" who someone wants to help, you're being turned into a helpless, dependent type.
You hear that John Kerry? DNC?
