Was Frederick Douglass a failure in fighting gross racism ?


Unless we are to believe that Frederick Douglass was a failure in his fight against gross racism and the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s failed to end institutionalized racism, we must realize that institutionalized racism is dead in America. It lives on mostly in the imagination of self-centered " identity politics ".

Today's " racism " is clearly a form of class oppression. The growing police state is a threat to ALL working class Americans.

I think " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders was right to focus in the 2016 presidential election in the United States on unacceptable economic inequality.

Recall that both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were highly critical of capitalism.
For that reason they were targets of FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover.
