Catch this anti-capitalist sentiment in any rock song or rap song lyrics ?


No competent sociologist would suggest that you can take an issue like white racism and deal with it in isolation from the economic structure of the society. Should identity politics succeed in convincing poor and working class white Americans that they are still relatively privileged -even in relationship to the black bourgeoisie- what do they do with this insight ?
If you want to make economic equality your goal, you can begin by reading VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS pamphlets. Just for a beginning. Then you might study the Engels' classic : " Socialism - Utopian and Scientific."
With Barack Obama president of the United States, should American citizens be told that they must begin to think about " white privilege " - even homeless whites ?
I do know that the Black Muslim , Malcolm X, did begin to think about the rottenness of capitalism : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker " ( 1965 speech ) . Catch that sentiment in any rock song or rap song lyrics ?Macklemore's White Privilege Song
