I like to think “bashing” the black bourgeoisie makes me look good to the entire diverse working class. Why should I give a pass to anyone who is exploiting workers? Would you give a pass to a rich slaver like William Ellison because he was black?

And where have I ever said people should stop talking about race? I’ve said race reductionists should include class and capitalism in their discussions of race, but of course they will never do that.
