Much of the North was built by poor whites

As was much of the rest of the country. But "poor whites" aren't a victim group because their goal is to stop being poor whites and start living a good life and owning their own future, instead of complaining endlessly about the past hardships suffered by their ancestors in the old country.

Much of the north was built by UPWARDLY MOBILE, IMMIGRANT poor whites. They also pushed their kids to DO BETTER than them, which is why we don't have many poor whites in this part of the world anymore.

Its the engineers, the entrepreneurs, and craftsmen that REALLY built America, in all honesty, to say nothing of the soldiers who conquered it to begin with.
