.@AOC: 'Weird American Dream mythology' requires 'painful' changes for poor whites washingtontimes.com/news/2019/feb/… via @washtimes
“I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have to go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people,”
“And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages.”
She then pivoted to gender politics and the “really hard” decision for Americans to admit “some privilege … of some type.”
