My friend Kathy just sent me a link to a blog called The Confluence which is doing an excellent job of dissecting the class bias within the Democratic primary, more specially, digs that call the working poor who support Clinton nothing more than rednecks and illiterate hillbillies. It reminds me that the War on Poverty was directed as much toward the “white trash” in Appalachia as it was at African-Americans and other racial minorities. My favorite part of the post is the Loretta Lynn classic, “The Pill,” that I had never heard before.
