This quote provides insufficient information with which to evaluate its claims. In what context [when? where? source? ] did Young make alleged statement?

Because we have policies that are racist, like affirmative action, instead of need based, it stands to reason that there will be poor whites who feel dissed.

Affirmative action is problematic. But, what's the alternative? Acceptance of the racial disparity of the status quo? Regressing to the Jim Crow era when Trump thinks things were "great?"

I was very angry in this last election that we had two highly electable people (John Kasich and Bernie Sanders) and yet each party didn't nominate them, they basically gave the voters the middle finger and gave us a hobson choice. So I took no horse at all and decided I would learn from the collective wisdom of millions of people how to respond to this dilemma.

How's that working for you?

What the voters did was to give the middle finger back to the authorities. I don't see Trump as a terrible inept president, I see him as the voters in the US giving Washington elites the middle finger.

No, Trump's inept too.
