I am a low income Muslim. I'm tired of the label "working class" being used as a code word for being the lowliest kind of human. Then if you resist this smear, you're an elitist.

A lot of inside the beltway talking heads have claimed a special understanding of working class voters lately. I would submit that if, as a journalist, you have to explain your working class bona fides, then you probably don't have them.

Like America, Kenya is a country run by rich men, who use tribal differences to first divide their poor people, and them unite them behind false promises of bettering their lives if they vote for change.

Oh Shit! I'm Poor!

We're all workers, anchored beneath the caste of generationally transfixed wealth. We're not Rockefellers. We're not Astors. We're not wealthy.
