Maybe we have been going about this the wrong way. Maybe if we can get white people to stop hating poor white people and see them as deserving humans, we can start to untie the gothic-knot of racism in America?

There story of Western history is that of a succession of great & good people who contributed to the cause of human flourishing & alleviation of suffering. These people accomplished things; they didn't simply engage in bad faith preaching.

Aahhh, where Heart's reason rules the day, what a lovely place it'd be! A government OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people, in service to ALL the people. We shall get there, eventually.
