Dismantling White Supremacy - Sacrifice Your Privilege

4. Agreed.

That said, I think we must all also recognize, as MLK did, the critical role of class politics in all of this: among other things, that that 90% of people of all "races" have been and are exploited and oppressed by TPTB; that the difference in degree of privilege between the bottom 90% and the top 10% in terms of wealth, income, power, material comfort, etc. is far greater than the differences among the different colors of the 90% (hence the resentment felt by some whites among the bottom 90% at the idea that they're significantly more "privileged" than other members of the 90%) ; and that the differences among the 90% have been and are relentlessly hyped and exploited by TPTB in order to prevent us from uniting in common cause against the top 10% (and especially the top 1%) to end our exploitation and oppression.
