This line of thinking is truly myopic.

No one is saying that if we have economic justice racism will disappear.

It is doing the bidding of the Corporate Masters to say that we cannot simultaneously deal with the issues of racism while also working for greater economic equality and justice at the same time.,

This is nothing but an inverted form of GOP thinking.
