Karl Marx said a long time ago that " the ruling class are the ideas of the ruling class ". It is silly to think that any other " class " prevails in IDEAS & OPINIONS at elite universities. You can be sure that among this Ivy League clique there will be found NO Christians, no Catholics , no SANE democratic socialists. The pillars of WOKE identity politics everywhere seem to be led and inspired by secular-non religious- anti-religious ZIONIST Jews who never apply CRITICAL RACE THEORY to Apartheid Israel . And since when are FACTS anti-Semitic ? It does seem that our WASP ruling class USA have become disciples not of Karl Marx but of Ayn Rand! Way back in 1965 Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and imperialism. That is the RATIONAL context in which to discuss the evil of racism. Indeed, even Martin Luther King early in his career said that he was leaning toward some form of Christian socialism .

Prior to the date, the Bay State Banner approvingly described the October 29 performance as “a safe space for Black-identifying audience members to attend.” For what pitiful or ill-starred portion of the human race does attendance at a performance at the Loeb Drama Center on Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts constitute an “unsafe” experience? Furthermore, the implication that whites and blacks occupying the same “space”—even for a few hours!—might be somehow hazardous is obscene, a concession to the most extreme nationalist and racist conceptions.]
