Well if everyone is supposed to know what they mean, and urban poor is just a derogatory reference to black people, then they really can't deny it.  

You are almost there, Mike.  The malevolent side says "urban poor" when complaining about lazy, shiftless parasites who commit crimes against "their own people" and suck tax money from hard-working whites.  The benevolent side refers to "urban poor" when speaking of increasing job and educational opportunities. And they refer to whites and Hispanics as well. So ALMOST the exact same people, with the term filtering very different attitudes about race.

And sure they can deny it.  They didn't use the word "black" or "African-American," right?  Haven't you seen people defending Trump against charges of racism in this very forum?
