The Obama years - a golden age for the black bourgeoisie- but not for common black people


No veteran democratic Socialist-including that " socialist " Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont- is obtuse about the meaning of the divisive phrase " white privilege ". But socialists understand " white privilege " in the context of a class divided society.
The American ruling class is always playing a divide and conquer game. And the image of generalized racism among whites is meant to neutralize collective working class hostility to the One Percent plutocracy. It could persuade naïve black voters that the reactionary black presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is a better choice for THEM than ANY socialist or progressive candidate.
The Obama years have been a golden age for the black bourgeoisie-but not for the vast majority of black Americans.
All the " race card " does is help these phony black leaders to control the oppressed black masses.
In the final analysis CLASS not RACE keeps black people " in their place " at the bottom of the economic ladder.
How many black leaders in America are socialists ? The assassinated Malcolm X was certainly getting there : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ", he said.
