There were great differences in the room, but not between the races.

The black and white working men spoke the same regional dialect and

shared the same political attitudes, all of which had been taught them

by others. They denigrated liberals, unions, and the media, considered

the local Wal-Mart store a blessing, and regularly gave their money to

the Powerball lottery and casinos that had the architectural charm of a

sewer works. They were frightened by the larger world and found

comfort in the rhetoric of politicians who assured them the problem was

the world's, not theirs. And most heartening of all was the

affirmation lent them by a genteel person like Castille Lejeune, a

Distinguished Flying Cross recipient who, unlike many members of his

class, showed no fear or lack of confidence in their midst, which told

them of his respect for their humanity.
