| Topic | Do American socialists have a race problem? |
| averagejoel 12/26/18 3:41:15 PM #5 | Godnorgosh posted... Socialists have always had a race problem, as have, you know, everyone else. In this case I'm not quite in the Tim Wise camp that claims classism is dependent on racism in a sort of one-way relationship, but obviously racism should be treated much more seriously than just as another topic given lip service from white socialists. I'm largely on board with this identity politics can be useful in the context of marginalized groups protesting together, but it can also lead to massive support for imperialists (e.g. Obama) and billionaires (e.g. Oprah). the exploitative nature of capitalism would not be lessened if it were equalized across race/gender lines. it would also not be lessened if every billionaire was a black trans woman. anyway, focusing specifically on the "gentrifiers" comment: referring to the room as such is a pretty big faux-pas, and extremely unhelpful. if nothing else, blaming gentrification on a demographic rather than on cops, landlords, politicians, and business owners, is reductive and minimizes the role that those groups play in augmenting prices and creating homelessness --- peanut butter and dick |
