". . .  the president lit the White House in the colors of the rainbow flag when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage and I can’t recall him doing anything similar for working class white folk. "

Really? As I recall, and correct me if I am wrong, the White House is lit up in white pretty much all the time.

That was a pretty clear expression of the "zero sum" game the neo-conservatives have been selling to "working class white folk" for quite some time to get working class whites to vote against their own economic interests.

To wit -- Any degree of "equality" in anything that is earned by a minority after years of activism must come at the expense of a privileged majority.
