Cornel on Jimmy. Class and Race. What is your plan to organize around class lines or are you going to just continue to talk about white supremacy?

Race and class are connected. Democrats have co-opted race politics for their own gain, but it doesn't mean we can't take meaningful positions on class struggle issues relating to race. This shouldn't be hard to talk about but here we are.

The majority of working class ppl are black. We can't separate the two. It's not one. It's both. If ppl feel uncomfortable hearing about racial issues, I would ask them...why are they so uncomfortable?

Imagine being a rich white guy like Dore telling a black man like Cornel West who has a history of being a social justice advocate to forget about white supremacists. lol Yes , just keep supporting RFK Jr, a rich white guy. He's more your cup of tea.

I think the fundamental misunderstanding here that causes folks to talk past each other is class first politics encompasses race because of how stratified white supremacy has made our country economically. Ex: Oprah is siding with Bezos and Biden, not Cornel West.

Jimmy literally scolding a black man who is the most LW candidate, for talking about race and not enough about economic issues 🤡

Great response by Dr. West. We don't leave anyone behind the working class struggle simply bc some privileged people feel it's inconvenient to their political goals. How long have Black people been told that this is not the time? Also, the disrespectful tone is truly gross.

I agree with Dt. West's response completely.

@JimmyDoreShow didn't ask the last question right. As a black guy the corvid lockdown isn't the worst thing that ever happened in my life. It one of the thing some WHT folks don't understand. The worst thing for you isn't the worst thing for me

I noticed Jimmy was bad on Black issues a little while ago. Turned me off from watching him a bit. Kurt Metzger is pretty cringe talking about anything race related as well Great answer by Cornel. Hated the Jimmy disagreeing reaction. White Supremacy isn't compromisable.

The race resurrection has been to divide. The class struggle is where we can unite.
