What do middle class blacks and working class whites think I wonder?

I presume the latter will be just as pro-police as Middle-class whites, but what about the former group?

Well, considering even rich black men like Chris Rock get pulled over for no reason at all, I'd say middle class blacks are as wary of the police as poor blacks.
There are some upper middle class and upper class African Americans in St. Louis, and they are pulled over just as often if not more frequently than those economically worse off. They're more likely to be driving nicer cars through whiter neighborhoods, and the police pull them over assuming they stole them. From what I have heard from some of the wealthier African American classmates, they are taught from the day they start driving that when, not if, they are pulled over, they have to cooperate fully, put their hands up, and never talk back to the police.
