I've noticed something: if folks start to frame everything as a class issue rather than a race issue, they lose sight of issues of race entirely. But if folks frame everything as an issue of race, they always seem to inherently understand that class is woven into that discussion.
It's as if focusing on class makes it really easy to ignore issues of race, but when you focus on race, it's literally *impossible* not to see and understand how race affects class, and how the two often operate in concert with each other.
Class reductionism is very much a thing, but race reductionism literally *cannot* be a thing, and in fact *is not* a thing.
I mean, seriously, one's class is often a byproduct of one's experience living as a certain race in this country, but it's ludicrous to think that one's race is ever a byproduct of one's class. That's not how things work, you know?
