Why draw a distinction between the working class and the white working class?

74. Never NEEDED a distinction before now...

Until the 2016 election cycle, I never considered there was a need for a special distinction. All working class people want and need the same things, have the same struggles, are affected by the same or similar issues, etc. It was they, the so-called "white working class" who set themselves apart as having some special privileges that non-white working class people aren't entitled to just because they are white.

Trump played into these angry feelings of entitlement that only fed and justified all their bad behavior and delusions of being the only victims of bad government by the rich and by the so-called "elites" as we have been labeled, as the scapegoats for all their inadequacies.

Why is it that only we, the "loser-libtards" have to eat humble pie and learn the hard lessons from Election 2016 that if we want good government we have to get in there, get active and change things for ourselves? But the self-annointed winner-trumptards are entitled have somebody/anybody else make life better for them? Aren't we ALL being fleeced by the Republican Congress, the corporations and the 1%? What justifies their expectations of special treatment and privileges above everyone else? That's what I don't get.
