I've copied my responce to it below, but i suggest going to the website and checking out the comments and decide for yourself what to think.
My responce....
There are quite a few truths in this article, and I shudder at those here who do not recognize this. How can you say that this article is racist, when he simply is speaking the truth? He is speaking of racism in our governement and in the republican party and media, so of course it's going to seem racist when what he is doing is simply pointing out the racism that exists, but many have chosen (like an ostrich in the sand) to ignore it.
My fear is that our white brothers and sisters read this and infer a racism against them. But I do not think the author was thinking along those lines. We must in our writing remember to emphasize that our country is in the middle of a class war. The racism against black still exists of course, but there is a more incidious threat to Americans. The powers that be are attacking the poor and middle class of all colors, and yes a middle class is needed like J. Bowman mentioned, but the rich don't care if it's large or small here in the U.S. the laregest middle classes are appearing in China, and Brazil, and India. All three countries with far more emerging middle class populations than the shrinking U.S. middle class population.
We the poor and middle class are being phased out of America, and they don't care about the color of our skin (black, brown, or white). We as Americans need to stand up against injustice for all Americans, because if they can do it to one segment of poor and middle class then they'll do it to all the poor and middle class. We must stand against all injustice that is how we protect ourselves and how we win back America.
So you ask where is there injustice? How about economic policies that help only corporations. Tax policies that favor the rich over the poor. Tax policies that keep tax dollars in the coffers of corporations (49% of which pay no taxes at all!). Attacking medicare, head start programs, foodstamps and many other programs that help poor and working middle class families get a leg up. How about wages stagnating at 1970's pay rates while the top 2% have their wages go up 450% in the same span. Just to name a few.
These are all causes for alarm, and they unite the white, black, and hispanic poor and middle class more than divide us.
