Today what working class white people and working class blacks have in common is WAGE SLAVERY under capitalism

Karl Marx said long ago that " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ". CRITICAL RACE THEORY is not a plebian grass roots phenomenon . It originates in Ivy League schools and ruling class " think tanks ". Only a very naive socialist would think that the exploiting , oppressive , super-greedy capitalist RULING CLASS is suddenly passionate about ending racism. Yes, how to end RACISM without harming the capitalist profit system ? Way back in 1965 Black Muslim firebrand Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism. WORKING CLASS white people were never in a position to EXPLOIT and OPPRESS black people. " Racism " among them never rises( except among louts ) above a non-malevolent ATTITUDE or a passing drunken stupor mood. What today working class white people and working class black people have in common is WAGE SLAVERY under capitalism . In his classic work " The Condition of the Working Class In England " ( 1844 ) Engels observed that misery of the Irish working class in Manchester was hardly a less wretched fate than Old South plantation slavery in the same period of history .] #FoxNews Leo Terrell: Critical race theory is a racist theory
