9. What a red herring that is! The TRILLIONS to the banksters mostly went to "whites"...
Your post is an example of "using the race card" in order to defend the status quo (tons of government money to corporations, little for regular people.)

"Conservatives seem to think there is this firewall between the military (where white people work for high salaries) and the rest of the 'free economy'."

#1) Our military is disproportionately of color
#2) Our President (a "centrist" African American) has offered no support for a WPA style plan, but has waxed eloquently about the "sanctity" of taxpayer-funded bonuses to Wall Street investment bankers.

Your race based analysis is off-base--our President is no avenger for the common man. :hi:
