Why doesnt the poor and middle class stick together?

Question

I am a strong believer in civil rights. Why is it hard for blacks,latinos,and middle class whites to stick together? I believe the fight we must fight today is far bigger than our stupid racial differences. It really hurts me to see the youth of today fight against each other because of race! I also hate it when us minorities pick on white kids that live in our same neighborhoods! I believe we should stop fighting against our selves and use our energy fighting against a government that keeps us in poverty and sends our children to war! What are some Ideals to unite ourselves and change the world?

#1 con, I myself am not living in poverty but I will never forget where I came from.

Answer 1

Concentrating on what makes us the same is not to the advantage of the rich, they love for us to fight each other and keep our attention averted from what they are or aren't doing.
As long as they can divide us we won't be asking the questions or demanding the answers that will help all of us instead of all of them.

Answer 2

There are no ideals to keep mankind united as you describe.

In the world's largest country (Russia) Vladimir Lenin tried this and it only turned to corruption during a coup and Stalin took charge.

Capitalism in the west will not unite people because people WITH money care only about their own interests and people WITHOUT money cannot share in their concerns.

Ironically the only force which seems to be proven to help unite people for a short time is suffering and tragedy and poverty. But once people climb out of their suffering, their tragedy and their poverty, that's when divisive lines become drawn.

Answer 3

everyone thinks they are better than everyone else. The middle class does not realize that higher class will NNEVVERR want anything to do with them just as they don't want anything to do with the lower class! The only thing you can do is either move to France, or stay here and become rich because the poor in America are only fighting for means to survive, the middle class are up to the same noses, they look down on the poor people with, in debt and the rich don't want anything to do with anyone who is not rich! here is a PBA:white America: if you are middle class and below, rich America thinks the same of you as they think of poor blacks! So being that we are in the place where it is the easiest to become a rich person, focus on money instead of racism, elitism, or any other foolishness you losers think is important.


BTW middle class is about $300 more than poor class per week.
And middle class is about $3000 in more debt than poor class.
Someone needs to tell the so called "middle class" that they are the same or poorer than the poor people!

Answer 4

Because most people in the middle class are there because of hard work, and following the rules and laws of society. I know there are exceptions to the rule.

I realize that many poor people are economically disadvantaged through no fault of their own. However, there's a substantial number who have no motivation to do a honest day's work; who spend their money on cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets, strip clubs,etc. (they seem to put having fun before earning a living as a priority.). How about people who complain about not being to afford health insurance but don't think twice about paying $40 to $60 a month for cable or satellite tv ?

Answer 5

We are in that stage now as we have information at our finger tips. We just need to better utilize it, and have people to represent in each area as a whole. I myself have been working on a idea that will change history. Getting people on board is the hard part. Once you have a group started, the number will start to flow, the mass will only grow once other see.

Answer 6

I am pretty certain one reason is because the middle class is moving on up. They have worked hard and are heading for the top tax bracket, that is their goal, and view the bottom as being satisfied with government handouts on the bottom.

You see, those who stay on government handouts do not want to do what it takes to move on.

Answer 7

You make some great points. We tend to divide ourselves up by the easily observable race lines, and we forget the more relevant lines that often involve poverty vs. wealth, etc.

Answer 8

What is left of the middle class will be dissolved by the zionists to get rid of the 'useless' eaters. Those that are middle class will fall in the ranks through unemployment, simple as that while the zionists (2%) continue to prosper.

Answer 9

because a lot of middle class have struggled very hard carryin the poor and actually he rich also!!

and once they make it, and feel secure and comfortable theres no lookin back!!! and they never want to be poor or associate with the poor again!!!

they want to just keep movin on to the next level, so they conform to whatever reliogion or politics is more popular at the time, so as to not make any waves, to just go with the flow!!!

but this is not how all of them think, thank god!!!

Answer 10
