This tired ass debate we don't need to be having. Research shows there's no either/or, talking about race is a way into the class conversation. And it also shows the colorblind messages are both less galvanizing and less persuasive.

In fact, white non-college dude, Juan didn't take your job. He is in front of Home Depot trying to make ends meet for his family. Jeff Bezos took your job. And Trump took your jobs. And sold off what little semblance of social welfare we have to his corporate overlords.
