Look. It’s no secret that the lives of Black and brown Americans have never been valued anywhere near as high as the lives of white Americans. Trump merely provides in-your-face evidence of that fact.

But the truth is, neither party gives a rats-azz about the lives of poor and working-class Americans -Black, brown or white, no matter where WE live. Trump’s attention to natural disasters in “Red” states notwithstanding.

Consider the past 35-40 yrs. For decades the GOP has depended mostly on poor and working-class white voters in “flyover” and POOR “red” Southern states to gain and retain power. And yet, by nearly ALL meaningful measurements, poor and working-class White-Americans have continually LOST more and more jobs and income security over the years -while giving majority support to the GOP.

TODAY more poor and working-class White families are increasingly experiencing serious mental health problems (major depression, anxiety, suicidal and homicidal tendencies); drug addiction and alcoholism. Their votes still matter. Their lives? Naah. Not really.

And sadly, Black, and brown, Americans haven’t fared much better in their majority support of the Democrat party. In fact, I just heard it reported this morning that when it comes to jobs and income, “Black women,” in particular, fare WORSE than any other group.

Our two-party system in America no longer works ALL of America. It works to keep rich and powerful elites…..rich and powerful elites. WE (poor and working-class Americans) could all be living in Puerto Rico or Flint Michigan for all they care.

They don’t really give a d*mn about Us.
