I am very comfortable around poor, rural Whites. They are my people.
But at the same time I am consciously aware that my sensiblities are much more middle class.
When I look at how many poor White people live I'm thinking: "here's how I would improve by cleaning the yard, fixing house. Man, that cigarette habit and drinking is taking the place of a productive hobby, etc."
I haven't ever lived too closely to them so I don't know if living in shambles is just the immutable condition of the poor or if they're capable of something greater with the right opportunities and inspiration.
