I just don't want a world where yeah, black folks make $15/hr at jobs that are slightly less shitty bc they have used collective bargaining to get more consistent hours and better childcare, BUT we're still mass incarcerated, cops still kill us, our schools are still underfunded
and bc most of the white folks are pacified now, they do as white folks do and defend the status quo. "None of us are free until all of us are free" is true in many ways, but... not always.
BUT also I have to recognize that bc I'm a middle class queer black person largely assimilated into this straight white world, I am most likely to benefit from social change, and frankly, most likely to suffer from economic redistribution (I should 100% pay more in taxes).
so me constantly thinking "please keep my shit on the agenda too" may be self-serving, representative of a narrow slice of materially-comfortable interests rather than the broader swaths of people an economic justice agenda might benefit.
OTOH, maybe I'm right and the straight white men who still control most political power will enact nominally "race-neutral," "gender-neutral," "accessible" "welcoming" pro-worker policies that just happen to further entrench power differentials along identity lines.
oh nevermind I read another article by the same author; he ain't really worried about us, lol. "Make white people care more about their class than their race" is both less ethically sound and less electorally viable than a lot of (left-leaning) white folks think.
