I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

    what’s happening right now is a good example… black kids being shot for getting the wrong address and ringing the doorbell. black kids forced to make ends meet, such as walking long distances or finding income and frequently subjected to violence. this isn’t happening to white kids, especially those of the ruling class, a class distinguished through whiteness. these children who are successfully being raised in secure, gated christo-fascist neighborhoods, have parents or escorts with them all the time. politicians are totally apathetic to violence on children because they know their (white) children will never face dangers like school shootings, having bourgeois privileges and security. billboards everywhere for new elite housing developments featuring white blonde haired families while people die on the streets… white supremacy has never diminished despite the reformist gains that attempt to reduce it.

      I wouldn’t say that white kids aren’t threatened by mass shootings because they are most often the perpetrators and school shootings often happen at schools where the kid went previously (or are going).
