well, so it took you this long to make a point, you can make this point in your op. More productive that way. No?

by the way, you don't know the reasons why some white people vote Republican. Please don't pretend that you do.

Replace poor white with poor black and white elite with dems and it is the same foolish stereotype thrown around here.

It is not b.s., rich whites have nothing in common with poor whites, besides skin color. Do you honestly believe that skin color is enough for this group to care about the average poor white person's well being? Truth be told, elite whites view poor/working class whites as trash.

Read my post...WE DON'T CARE OR NEED PEOPLE TO CARE ABOUT OUR "WELL BEING".
We are responsible for ourselves and our own well being...We're different than what you're use to apparently.
"I'll bite...What exactly is a "poor white"? Relative to a billionaire I'm a "poor white". Truthfully us poor whites (relatively speaking) don't really give a sh_t what people think of us...we work through life trying to better ourselves...we take parenting our children very seriously, we try to have as much fun together as possible, we try to lead a high quality of life standard...honestly we just put our head down, go to work, lead our families, don't ask for free hand-outs and don't spend any time caring what people think or blaming anyone for our shortcomings...Simple."

Not all of them.

Plus, i would like to believe that Policies, not skin color, motivated most voters.

Great theory...Do you think that was the case during the NoBama election?

Actually, the majority of poor people (of all colors) who are at or below the federal poverty level, do accept government hand-outs in the form of food stamps, welfare and/or medicaid.

Am I supposed to vote for the party that despises white people?

I think skin color is probably immaterial for people of means. Having had them as customers they have other motivations and objects of concern other than what you are positing.

No data to indicate anything you allege is true. You are just stirring up trouble. Like that black student now going to jail for creating false race based twitter tweets.

There are no bona fide candidates that represent anything worth voting for...
