like... this ignores the actual literal votes of black and brown people in favor of a theory that class is the thing that unites everybody, a theory that AFAIK has never panned out in the form of antiracist policies!
Good policies, from left and center? Yes. Antiracist policies...? ehhhhhhh... was it class solidarity that gave us the CRA, the VRA, the 13th-15th Amendments, the '68 housing discrimination act? Or was it like... black folks organizing black folks regardless of class?
At some point we have to take seriously the actual decisions people make. Material things like class should matter more than nominally immaterial things like race. But um. Serious q: when was the last time class was a better predictor of vote than race?
Anyway, we need more talk about race, not less. What we need is to say clearly: "listen, we're not backing down on the race stuff, we know you don't feel comfortable about that and we get it! But listen, here's what we're gonna do for you and here's why you can trust us."
