[Peace-discuss] P. Street on "Race v. Class? More Brilliant Bourgeois Bullshit from Ta-Nehesi Coates"

[Karen Aram]

I have to admit the first time I heard him speak, I cried. He really knows how to pull the heartstrings, though, sometimes, it doesn’t take much to make me cry.

The second time I heard him speak, I was irritated at his lack of solutions and obvious manipulation.

Since then reading his words has angered me because he is so transparent in his attempts to promote racism, and guilt, with a “just suck it up, thats the way it is attitude,” 

When they ignore class, you know it’s another distraction from that which needs to be understood if we are to bring any change or progress to the world. 

When they focus on the personal, with no concern for the millions we have murdered………
