OK. yes, it did that- that DOESN'T mean we can get right-wing working-class whites to join the Left if only we start pretending there isn't any such thing as institutional racism, or if only the white Left tells Black America to shut the hell up and "know its place".

There have been too many times in the past where class reductionism resulted in the Black and Brown working class being excluded from any benefits of any egalitarian project to ever again make it legitimate for white Leftists to ask Black/Brown/Indigenous America to just shut up and "take one for the team", or whatever your objective is in writing all these wound-opening episodes.
