TL;DR: Intersectionality is a thing and forcing the separation of intertwined issues is counterproductive as well as unjust.

I have consistently said that it's both from the start. In fact, the original statement I took issue with was this:

Seems to not be a race problem, it is more on working class vs. wealthy class problem

My argument was and still is that it's both and that ignoring the race component by pretending that it's ONLY a class issue is both misleading and bad strategy.

Such bad strategy, in fact, that it was probably the biggest reason within the campaign's control that Bernie Sanders didn't become president in stead of Trump. His economic policies would have helped everyone except for billionaires and abusive anti-labor corporations, but he and the rest of the campaign didn't make it clear enough to the black and brown voters in the South that economic justice is racial justice and vice versa.

Yeah, okay, enough of this pedantic bullshit. We're all aware. You're not dropping some grand unknown knowledge. You keep making sweeping arguments about some general scheme, instead of you know, the conversation at hand.

Yeah. That's definitely it. There's definitely not a whole slew of other things here.

You've clearly made the only real point you had here, and have gone off the deep end. This isn't really productive anymore. Nor has it been because of a staunch refusal to read what's going on.

No, I'm responding to first someone who claimed that it wasn't about race at all and now you misrepresenting that as me saying that it's ONLY about race.

I'm not widening the perspective to be histrionic, I'm putting it into a general context to make it easier for you to understand what I'm ACTUALLY saying.

Good job ignoring qualifiers. Saying that it was the biggest problem with the campaign within its own control is in NO WAY the same thing as saying it was the only one, or even the only one within the control of the campaign itself.

I'm not being a pedant, I'm correcting your bad faith/lack of reading comprehension interpretation of what I'm saying.

If you don't understand by now, after I've been very clear over many more paragraphs than should have been necessary or than I wanted to, you never will and we might as well stop here.
