Green trumps black?

I just read this article of Oprah allegedly being snubbed by some private clubs again. I am not sure of the authenticity of this report (her people are denying it), but the story is reminiscent of, and solidifies, for me, that cash generally may not change a black person’s overall status in Amerikkka. However, the question is what do you guys think is the more pressing issue today, race or class?

Excerpt:
She offered to build a new tennis court at Knollwood. That's just not done," said one source. "This is a very conservative town."

But is “conservative” just a politically correct term for something else? When asked if the clubs admit African-Americans, the source told the Post: "There aren't many black people in the area."

I googled it and a couple of the same articles appeared. If this is true, then that is a shame! Race is an issue and will always be an issue. I try not to let that have an impact on my everyday life; however, I am aware of it. Its sad you know!

Recess:

Race "AND" Class is what Rules in the USA Today.

Black People may earn Billions or be elected or appointed HNIC of WHATEVER------

--------HOWEVER they WILL NEVER be Allowed to ENTER the Paradise of the White Ruling Class.

So when you hear MudderfuKKKers talking that they have Conservative Values or they be a Strict Constitutionalist...........This is where they REALLY coming from:
