true voice of the working class?

Why are we so obsessed about the working class still after all these years? I mean, most working class people are interested in beer, tits, football, and horseracing. I find there is very little real interest in politics of any kind, and most working class people are racist and homophobic. I mean most of the participants on indymedia are not working class, it is just kind of cool to pretend you are, and we all know it. Forget the working class, they cannot change society, and they are not even really oppressed. I mean, even on council estates most people have dvds and mobile phones, fashionable clothes etc. I mean i have campaigned on many issues in working class areas, and in almost every case the working class are to the right of the tories. most support the war and dislike asylum seekers etc. all power to the working class? Get real, and lets move on from this folly.
