I’m not a Marxist either. I have views that are all over the spectrum. It’s just that my view of these kinds of racial issues is close to the Marxist idea that economics rather than dark skin is at the root of the problem that black people face in this country (with race being a distraction used by both major parties to drive people to the polls and vote against their real interests, while the reign of corporate cronyism continues unabated). Blacks are disproportionately in the underclass, and racism will end when they’re no longer disproportionately in the underclass, not the other way around (meaning, even if we could end all racism, blacks would still be in the underclass, because they’re not being kept down by racism but primarily by other forces at this point in history).
