White leftists have a history of using class reductionism to ignore racism and even of making common cause with white supremacy itself.

When I drag white ‘leftists’ for for having the nerve to “we don’t have a race problem, we just have a class problem”, I’m dragging them because this shit goes back as far as O’hare and Debs.

Yes. Our nation does have a race problem, and it’s just as big as the class problem.

      Maybe? In any case, it seems like the author is completely ignoring more modern socialist groups like the PSL which was founded by a POC. The article seems to be trying to scare away black people from socialism based on the actions of some minor white socdems from 110 years ago.
