Black people have a lot of culture though, and are lots of fun to be around. Otherwise many poor and rural whites in this country don't have cult-ure so much as they're part of a suicidal death CULT! The GOP doesn't even have any cities for all they like pointing fingers at Democratic ones. What? Jacksonville? Fort Worth, Texas?!? Those are Republicans' "biggest" in the country—but who in the entire world has ever heard of anything or anyone coming from either of those places! And what is it the European colonialists(irony they so often fled Europe for the "less developed" world) said about unwashed uncivilized uncultured backwards savage barbarians who have no cities again!? Oh oops; I think I just said it! That's messed up to be sure, but then it's the white supremacist viewpoint! Irony though is that white supremacy so often it's the losers among white people subscribe to, as well that white supremacy KILLS white people. ESPECIALLY the poor and rural whites! W.E.B. DuBois, MLK, & LBJ all explained it. And from Jefferson Davis to Adolf Hitler to Donald Trump, those evil men all did it! Look at that 2020 Census for a dozen years of the Tea Party & Birtherist & Trump & QAnon crazies; the more power extremist Republicans get, the more they kill their own base! First & only Census in 250 years of US history that whites DE-populated! Yet based on the 7 decades prior to 2010, the white population should have increased by OVER 10 million at minimum, with the average increase over those 70 years being OVER 15 million whites per decade!!! But then, the Wall Street Journal front page headline didn't read "Rural America is the New Inner City" for no reason! Nor is Red State life expectancy YEARS(PLURAL!) worse than the Blue States for no reason either! Y'all like throwing stones, but your kind live in glass houses. & old white men are the most apt to die of heat stroke in those what with the warming climate! And no people in all of American history have ever been as "downwardly mobile" as Trump supporters. Ex: the African American story in this country is one of continual rise. Maybe a lot lower start(they were slaves!), but it's rise nonetheless. Similar for immigrants(FYI immigration from 2010-2020 was the lowest decade we've had in over 50 years, which puts it among the lowest in our history!). Trumpers though their daddies & granddaddies had it better than them. For them the American Dream is DEAD!
PS: Biden won 71% of US GDP by county vs. Trump only got 29%! Who are the "welfare queens" again(as Reagan called 'em) not pulling their own weight!? GOP base are government check cashers! As far as blacks being born out of wedlock, at least black people are having babies! 2016 was the 1st year that white deaths exceeded white births, & now after just 4 years of Trump with the lowest white birth rate in history(including our worst economic crises), it's over 1000 fewer white babies born per day than the over 5000 white Americans that are dying per day! White DE-population! Kicked into high gear under Trump!!! Again too; problem concentrated among the Trump whites vs. the anti-Trump whites are quite immune. "Rural America is the New Inner City" remember? Meanwhile suburbs fled the GOP in droves in 2020, same as 2018, & Biden won 171 out of 202 counties in the country with a Whole Foods! Or "Whole Paycheck" to many. College educated whites voted 40 points more for Biden than non-college whites. It's 2021 son; not 1971! Your old white male Booomer politics are outta touch & 50 years outta time! Whites are 2.6 times more suicidal than blacks today & 1.5 times more likely to die of drug overdoses! And those are Top 10 causes of death in the country with these record breaking skyrocketed "deaths of despair"! Which puts "White America", were it a nation, in the worst 15 most suicidal countries worldwide(half of which are in Africa btw), & "White America" takes the junkie narcotic cake for the most drug abusing! But for those stats are for whites in general, it's not all whites either; it's the Trumpers! You rednecks sold your souls to Satan for Monster Truck rally tickets! And the reason Trump lost is cause Americans, including half of white Americans, don't wanna be like you! The orange troll's the absolute disgrace of the white race & men! Maybe it's why Trump's margin with white men from 2016 to 2020 got cut by 43%! Seriously; how does the Republican Party move forward in the 2020s getting only half of the white vote!?!? Especially when the GOP's whites are dying vs. Democratic ones are growing in number(ex: college educated, young, Millennials now the biggest generation with Gen. Z becoming voters behind them). You RINOS(all Republicans these days as that WAS the party of anti-Know-Nothing anti-racist 1860 Campaign Slogan "Vote Yourself A Farm!" later "Act to Encourage Immigration" Abraham Lincoln!) gone white supremacist nationalist socialists are dinosaurs doomed to extinction! For most all wars & revolutions in human history weren't because of Marxism, including WW1, WW2, & our most horrific Civil War, the "Cold" War has been over now almost as long as it lasted. Reagan was once enormously popular, but no Republican President has first come to power now by popular election since the 1980s! HW Bush the last. Here in the early 2020s though, the majority of Americans(median age 38) aren't old enough to have voted before the Year 2000, let alone 1990! Oh, and 20 years ago, it was only 40% of Republicans were over 50. Today it's over 60% of GOPers have hit the Big 5-0! Your party is DYING! From both a figurative political sense AND in the literal one!
Your ethnocentrism is showing. "White" people have all sorts of culture. It comes from all over the world and mixes in with other cultural artifacts. Maybe get outside of your urban bubble sometime. Travel the "blue" highways a bit and actually get out of your car and meet some people. Of course, you can't be condescending or denigrating. You might also want to listen to what people are actually saying rather than filtering it through your preconceptions.
Your partisanship is blinding you and undermining Any points you may be trying to make.
To state that “poor rural whites don’t have a culture” is so profoundly wrong and ignorant and stereotypical that is really difficult to take you in any way seriously. What would you say if we substituted “rural white” for “urban black.” I feel confident you’d have a real problem with that, probably call it racist, and launch into a tirade or some sort. But having spent plenty of time in both environments personally, I know your statement is as wrongheaded and misguided as my hypothetical substitution sentence.
