A social media post from a Los Angeles resident laments the absence of gardeners and housekeepers due to fears of immigration raids. The rhetoric highlights a class divide where some affluent citizens view undocumented immigrants primarily as a source of cheap domestic labor. Critics argue this perspective treats human beings as "slaves" for the convenience of the upper class.

Author Batya Ungar-Sargon discussed her book "Bad News," explaining how the term "woke" was appropriated from black slang to describe an affluent white liberal phenomenon. She cited a Yale study finding that white liberals "dumb down" their vocabulary when speaking to minorities, a behavior she described as paternalistic racism. Ungar-Sargon argues that "wokeness" serves as an alibi for economic inequality among the elite.

- **Published:** 2017-12-10
- **Time:** 22:40–24:57
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/989-stick-controls/chapter/cokie-roberts-on-class-and-harassment-claims.md

Journalist Cokie Roberts suggests that working-class women may be skeptical of certain sexual harassment claims because they face more severe physical assaults on the job. The analysis posits that "white collar" complaints about verbal propositions seem minor to those experiencing workplace violence. This perspective is used to explain why some female voters in Alabama remain supportive of Roy Moore.
