Walter Benn Michaels nails it! "The most significant divide in the country isn't a fracture over race, or for that matter even over gender. It’s between people who are likely to benefit from the current regime of inequality and those who are hurt by it." Adolph Reed
Hmmm. I'm thinking the screwed up thing is you. He's the most on-point person I've ever heard. He hits the nail on the head with Neoliberalism and using meritocracy and "diversity" as a shield to prevent a closer look at the increasing classism and increasing income divide in the US. His brilliance obviously challenges your cognitive dissonance and you are fighting it mightily.
i think he's talking about the way that modern neoliberalism seeks to remove that connection in the way we see those 2 things being connected. of course they're connected, but modern fake-anti-racism or very "showy" anti-racism seeks to make everything "look" fair, so they can deny the connection of race and class, and deny the material causes of that connection, deny the history of racism, etc.
No, I think he does. He is just pointing out that Neoliberals are using diversity and meritocracy as a shield to hide the fact that the class and income divides are getting worse, and this not only includes the black people that were already poor but more poor white people too. They have the tokens that can get into college and be "represented" but as a nation, we are getting poorer while the top 10%, especially the top 1%, get a larger and larger slice of the pie, but "yay diversity".
Really? "African Americans are disproportionately poor in the US. 12:38. "Give lots of money to poor people. That would help African Americans." 12:24.

This needs to be watched SO much more! He is so on point! Brilliant!
Right on point! This is exactly what the neoliberals do not want to hear!
Haha, i'm a home health care worker. i do get med insurance but the rest is all correct
Sounds like Sam Seder looool
He literally looks like an older version of Sam too. Lol.
His comment at the 10:00 mark makes my head explode! What a screwed up thing he is.

This dude does not understand how deeply interrwined race and class are in the United States
