Skip Gates is pulling the "Class > Race" bullshyt in the New York Times

[Poitier]

What is?

If you address capitalism then you are addressing class.

If you address capitalism then you are addressing class.

You can address class issues without changing the foundation which is capitalism... However it will only be a temporary fix. That is the difference in what you and I are stating.

No you can't. The system was built on an extraction of wealth and labor and the class issue can only be addressed by reversing that.

You can absolutely address the issue without attacking its foundation. Are you disagreeing with this?

To expound, there can be temporary fixes such as the government giving aid to the poor with 'affirmative action' and other such things but what are they really doing? Hence why I say that you can treat issues in multiple ways but unless you treat the source, the issue will just come up in a new form.

Yes.

That's what opinions are for

"It's a class issue, not a race issue. "

Donald Watkins is that dude...... and he and his wife are mad personable..... you wouldn't even know he had it like that until you peeped his socks.... (his sock game was stupid.....

Race is a major distraction\issue , but at the end of the day, corporatism is going to absolutely divide the U.S. via class.......

[JBoy]

this argument doesn't really look as good, when it is quite clear that poorer blacks are the worst treated sub group in American society, that ain't all class

 

[Red Shield]

They're not stupid, they're tired of fighting and at the point where they have conceded defeat.

gotta figure more then just our elite, are at that point now too...

 

[Aufheben]

he's not saying that at all

what i do agree with is that a class analysis/critique is sorely missing from a lot modern black activism, and there are reasons for this

go back to the civil rights era class issues were way more prevalent in civil rights and even woman's rights activism, and people knew the only way to build mass support was through class solidarity

napoleon would prefer black folks ignore class issues because he's a capitalist shill. this is a guy who would support the slaughter of thousands of black americans if it meant keeping american hegemony intact

He doesn't know what he wants to believe, dude switches his beliefs every hour on the dot.

Even his race.
