Race is a correlate of social class and poverty.

Blacks are disproportionately poor.

Black and Hispanic poverty is documented to be substantially different than, and arguably worse than, white poverty in terms of the lack of inter- and intragenerational mobility, among other things.

These sentiments and "truths" are the foundation for many initiatives and programs. "We" can't support the above statements when it suits "us" but disagree with them when someone like madmax says them in a fashion to get a rise out of people.
