I think Sanders lost because black people didn’t think he could do it.

Let me ask you this: Out of all the poor black people who come in and out of 7/11 during your shifts, how many would take a job where all they had to do was come in, get called a ****** and go home for $1000 a day? I’m going to bet 100%.

the problem with cost reductionism is that racism, sexism etc still exist with or without class conflict

It's reductive to look at something like say BLM and say really the real problem is classism. I grew up poor, white and in bad neighborhoods and I can guarantee you being white comes in handy when dealing with the cops regardless of your class.

I agree but being rich comes in even handier regardless of your race.

I’d like a breakdown on the average net worth of a person killed by the police. The data doesn’t even exist.

Nobody is saying class isn't a factor. To be a class reductionist is to say it's the only factor.

I may or may not be a class reductionist but if it’s thrown at me as an insult I’m happy to own it.

this is why Intersectionality is the **** man

it explains how these things overlap and play off each other

the answer is a Universal solidarity with No Exceptions

Does that include solidarity with a billionaire just because they’re black?

LeBron can keep his BLM jersey while he’s being re-educated. That’s fine.

There is no such thing as re-education when every system inevitably consolidates power in the hands of the few once all the chips are down and the dotted lines are signed. You are asking people to take responsibility for themselves to a degree they will not accept.
