And, as you say, the U.S. image of the "welfare queen" is black.

You just have to be a person who has witnessed class or race or ethnic privilege of any kind. I don't know where you're from, but I'm certain there are class issues there, and I am sure there are overt and also hidden messages disseminating through the public sphere that belittle one group or another. If you don't get what I'm saying, then you might be one of those of privilege that I'm criticizing. Most white people in the U.S. wouldn't get it either. Nor do they want to, in most cases.

Also a good family helps along the way. I didn't see the all the class-war racism thing you're talking about. Of course I'm not American so...meh. All I'm getting from the video is this:
