You comment on these issues more than me, so I respect your insight. Do you think that I'm wrong?

Yes. While I think class is a big issue, racism is the core. Redistricting rarely cuts out large white blocks, for example.

White voters overwhelmingly voted against their best economic interests because of deep seated Islamophobia.

Class issues are a product of capitalism, but the capitalist system in our country has long been built on race.

Class mobility is way easier for a white person than a POC. My wife and I changed classes in a way I rarely see among POC.

I don't disagree that we're in a class war. But that it's racism that keeps it going.

thanks for your perspective. I agree. Perhaps I feel a class conflict is 'winnable' somehow and naturally gravitate to it.

I feel unsure of how to even talk about race as a white guy - it feels inappropriate to discuss it.

Quietly supporting the ppl fighting for equality seems like the best course. But I want to be more vocal in my support

That's rather far afield from your original thought, apologies. But you have influenced me on that.
