This is LITERALLY how the American labor movement fell apart.
The south used to be a union STRONGHOLD until segregationists pointed at Black people and said “you really want Negros making the same as you?”
Racism is a CORE BELIEF that other races DESERVE their lot in life

I get that is the origin. But race is literally more important to Americans than their lives. So while class solidarity is something nice to hope for. It is totally impossible to build an inclusive movement on it in the U.S. All opposition needs to do is point out Black ppl will benefit.

Then you all are doing the same thing to black and brown people 100 years later.
Ppl don’t learn.
But if this triggered something in you? Well..sorry about that I guess.

Guess I’ll read more.
It’s the same BS.
And idiots fall for it.
Pisses me off.
Instead of hating on each other and getting worked up about what people *below* you are supposedly taking?
It’s bullshit. We’re all just people trying to survive this shitstorm together.
Doesn’t matter the color. Most everyone has parents, kids, relatives, bills, problems. Just. Like. You.
What?!?

Destruction of Seneca Village was classism.
The rise of private schools after Brown was classism.
Redlining was classism.
To dismantle that, we’d need to be much stricter when dealing with any preachers of "us vs them".

It was useful 200+ years ago, when survival was not a given. Now it’s just primitive.
