Racism and capitalism are fire and air - one cannot exist without the other but many progressives can’t see thatI am a black American woman from a working class and poor background. I can never separate those identities; they operate all at once. Though it’s critical to create a community where working class people and black people can coexist and share resources, I know that, even if we operate in a class struggle where I’ve achieved parity with white middle-class workers, I’ll still occasionally experience racism in some form about my body in public spaces.
