[Marxism] White workers make history, proletarian internationalist formula

The history made in O's election was not made by
 Obama, and it was not made by Black people. 
 It was made by the masses ( although minority) 
of White working people who voted for  Obama.  
The majority of white people did not vote for Obama, 
but the minority who voted for him was critical
 to victory. More White people voted for Obama 
than Black people. There were appeals to
 racism made by the Republicans and 
rightwingers in the election. The sufficiently 
large White vote for Obama amounts to a 
historic repudiation of this racism , and the 
larger racist legacy of American history.
If Obama had lost, I would have been attributing 
it to racism. Since he won, 
I have got to say "it" was anti-racism. 
The division of the US working class by racism
 is the main division of it. The history in the 
election of Obama is especially that masses
 of White working class people voted for a Black 
candidate for President. Glory to the White
 American anti-racist spirit and sentiment.
John Brown's soul is marching on !
