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.
