Perfect example of the start of your "eternal enemies" theory was the first Irishman to step off the boat in New Orleans in the 1800's..they had to fight for jobs from the slaves who had been there for years. Nope..it's not always about hate for the color of their skin, it's about economics in the USA and the fight for food and housing among the working classes. That's were it comes from. Not this eternal, they hate all blacks dogma. That is a sweeping generality and a terrible disease that has been past down through generations among mostly sheltered individuals in liberal land.
If you will notice that Blacks have a huge "problem" with Hispanics. Do you also attribute that to some eternal immortal sin or permanent flaw or just the competition between them?
You seem to have completely misread my post. I did not attribute any "original sin" to poor whites. I attributed the "eternal enemies" attitude to both equally. I am a poor white.
I am afraid I must also disagree with the "it's all economics" theory. For some reason there are certain white people who, to this day, spazz out about color and color alone.
Our small town for a while had a Black-owned business. It wasn't an "ethnic" business like a barber shop, but a clothing store. And the old white women couldn't bring themselves to try on clothes in a Black-owned store. Never mind that in the other stores they are trying on clothing that has been tried on previously by Blacks in a dressing room used by Blacks. They simply could not try on clothing in a store a Black owned. The whole business seemed (and still does) insane to me! And I'm so hostile to Black politics that I've sometimes been branded a racist!
I have relatives who despise Blacks, and if it's because of economics they hide it pretty well. Please understand that, unlike liberals, I do not consider white prejudice to be "different from" or "worse than" Black prejudice. Okay? Is that understood? But the whole business is stupid! Four hundred years! DANG!!!
And yes, I have always maintained that American Blacks (especially the poor rural ones) are every bit as prejudiced and (for that matter) "stupid" as poor uneducated whites, although liberals seem to consider them heavenly beings without the slightest blemish of human weakness (or else excuse those weaknesses). Quite frankly, a Black-white alliance against Mexican newcomers (from an alien culture, language, and religion) would make perfect sense, but poor whites and Blacks seem to hate each other so much it will never happen. Either one would rather have the Mexicans as an ally against the Ancient Enemy.
