You might be interested in this book: Black Rednecks and White Liberals

The author is black and grew up in Harlem, raised by his great aunt. He was the first in his family to make it past the 6th great but ultimately he had to drop out of school at the age of 17, for family and financial reasons. He eventually become a professor and top selling author.

Book Description:

> This book presents the kind of eye-opening insights into the history and culture of race for which Sowell has become famous. As late as the 1940s and 1950s, he argues, poor Southern rednecks were regarded by Northern employers and law enforcement officials as lazy, lawless, and sexually immoral. This pattern was repeated by blacks with whom they shared a subculture in the South. Over the last half century poor whites and most blacks have moved up in class and affluence, but the ghetto remains filled with black rednecks. Their attempt to escape, Sowell shows, is hampered by their white liberal friends who turn dysfunctional black redneck culture into a sacrosanct symbol of racial identity.

Thomas Sowell, probably the greatest black intellectual alive today has been saying as much for a long time. And of course I doubt whites have more sensible political opinions, the only difference is that blacks have an easier time asking for handouts and special treatment (even if in reality it harms them more than help), whites would do the same stupid things if they could.

Race and Culture: A World View and Black Rednecks and White Liberals are two great books by Thomas Sowell on the subject.

Of course, in the current climate of political correctness paranoia, anything that can in any way be interpreted as criticism of a 'minority' is not acceptable, whatever it is true or not.

Interestingly enough, there are those who advance the idea that "black culture" is derived from redneck culture.

In a book called "black rednecks and white liberals"

They talk about middleman minorities. Jews are the middleman minority in the US, which is why they go through envy and racism etc.

If you notice though, it's only a few people on Reddit that actually talk about "the jews". Then again, you also have a few people who think the Chinese government purposely put lead in the paint, and that minorities just don't know what hard work is.

Read Black Rednecks and White Liberals and then tell me if you still believe that.
