This is a system — as the Republicans in Congress will, I believe, demonstrate with their continued allegiance and with their vote — for and about wealth and privilege. If you are a person of color and do not have wealth, too bad. You are relegated to the back door of the American mansion, and no one will hear your knocking or screaming. If you are a white member of the working class, you are in the same boat, even if you fail to recognize it or refuse to admit it. Having white skin will take you only so far in a racist society that holds money as its greatest commodity. Some whites seem content to go along with the disavowing of the Constitution and the rule of law as they find some sort of solace in the mirror and mindset of whiteness. They too are victims.
