> It's not because that any black people are actually more affected by "profiling" than by their class situation. It's impossible to look at racial disparities in sentencing, qualitatively or quantitatively, and think this. The research is clear: The absolute richest black people get accused and sentenced like working-class white people. Working-class black people get treated like sub-humans. > They're quite simply on the side of the owning class, even though they're not owners. The most successful revolutionary leftist movements in the modern west are those taking up racial issues, from SNCC and the Black Panthers onwards. > Black or white, the odds have to be 90%+ that the last "or else" order you obeyed was delivered under a wage-based threat. The intensity of "else" in an "or else" order matters. Worrying about "the most recent one" is pure sampling bias. That's exactly the problem; the median worst case for working-class white leftists is losing their job. For others, regularly, it's their life. I beg you, read some books by black, female, and queer leftists. They have good ideas.
