[Marxism] America's deep-seated racism

[Lajany Otum]

Walter, 
You're really thick, aren't you? Whether you call whiteness a state of mind or 
a state of liver, or anything else, has no bearing on the reality of that is the 
oppression of blacks, or the on fact that most people of African descent, 
unlike your oleaginous majesty, do not have the privilege of being blind to 
the colour of their skin, the knottiness of their hair and the shape of their
noses. 
Now, far cough will you?

<<Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the phenomenon of "passing"?

Consider a few facts and experiences:

In this society, white is not simply a description of a color.
In this society, white is, most importantly, an attitude and a state of mind.
