Writer Bell Hooks describes that nowadays to understand the class, we also need to understand the politics of gender and race. Hooks discuss the time in her childhood where there was a huge dispute between poor whites and blacks. Even the poor whites were treated better than rich black people due to their skin color. The privileged whites assaulted the poor whites who turned their rage and hate towards the black people. So, the black people warned their children to never go near any white people afraid of their hate and violence. However, in the present time, the dispute and hate between whites and blacks are decreasing. Many grown white and people still refuse to interact with each other, but the children are starting to get along together.
