That isn't what the sign says. It's what York is trying to imply from it, because York's made his entire career out of race-baiting.
The purpose of the sign is to show how people who DON'T have those things have been discriminated against because of circumstances beyond their control.
If you're poor, rugged individualism is less important than getting through the day. Collectivism is the more intelligent approach in that situation.
Hard work for a lot of white folks is seen in the context of having "a job that matters."
Objectivity in this situation is a farce. Yes, it's stupid to take out a payday loan. But when your wife just lost her job or you lost your child care benefits and you have to pay rent, you do what you have to do.
Nuclear families are great if you're born into them. What happens when you aren't?
And so on, and so forth.
And the funniest thing about this whole thing? White society is trending away from AAAAAALLLLL of these as the cost of living outpaces inflation and wages stay stagnant.
Turns out that it's pretty easy to check the items off of that list if you have the means to do it.
