You just don't see it in the open. The merchants will gladly take the money from the poor blacks. But in their minds "The south shall rise again". That is why Walmart, Tyson, Stephens, AT&T, and the list goes on forever are located in the south. The poor white man knows that their is something below him and that is the poor black man. That makes the poor white man feel entitled.
