Ethnic privilege is a real thing. I always wondered why no political action was done to help rural whites in america, they seem to be living in the trash with absolutely zero help. Instead ethnics and niggers are given so many advantages. I will never blame a rural white that wants separation from the bloodsucking retards of the cities.

Because while racial issues are common, class inequality and other issues are also common. The downside is the poor rural white folks have a fair bit of a problem with voting against their best interests when it comes to the economy. Can be tied to racial issues as well, but right wing con men have convinced people that social safety nets are "evil commie ideas" so the poor, often under-educated rural whites vote in favor of enriching people other than themselves.
Upperclass whites have an interest in keeping poor whites in whites in their places. Racism keeps poor whites from poor blacks from forming alliances. Author bell hooks wrote a book about property and the cover was a little white girl.
In The Way We Never Were has an brief account of a slave woman giving food to a starving white woman. The slave woman was punished. I’m assuming the slave broke the slave code.
Rural poverty is real, certainly, and a good part of it has to with the lack of education in rural areas and the brain drain when the smart kids move to the city for better opportunities. I've seen this happen in my own family. But trying to separate from cities is self-defeating because that's where the money is.
Don't ask me how to fix this situation. I just know that bleating about "ethnics and niggers" won't help anything.

Tennessee Valley Authority, and rural electrification. Opposed, by the way, by some pretty powerful white people who thought if those rural farmers wanted electricity, they’d already have built their own generators and power lines. Or moved from their farms and into the city.
Also currently the expansion of fiber optic internet into rural areas of the US, a lot of them in the south. Again, opposed by some pretty powerful white people who think if the country bumpkins wanted reliable connections to the internet, they’d have built their own networks. Or moved from the country and into the cities.
And before anyone says internet is just a luxury, I remind you how much more of our world is requiring internet access to do even the most basic things. Including finding a job.
