Really getting irritated by this talking point that economic hardship exacerbates racism. It’s ridiculous.America’s racist element has not changed one bit through the years, in good times and in bad. Racism has nothing to do with money.

We could guarantee every American a living wage for life, and the amount of racism in this country would not change one damned bit.

I’m not arguing against improving people’s lives and prosperity. I’m saying it’s absurd to think that you’re going to address the problem of racism like this.
— Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) January 18, 2020
Need I point out that some of the worst racists in America are the billionaires who support Donald Trump? And who run companies like Fox News?

Improving the quality of life is a great idea. I’m all for it. But claiming that’s the way to address America’s racist problem is just bullshit.

It’s why while I understand the logic about how we had the system that we did in the 50’s and 60’s working. I also understand we can’t just return to that. There’s a lot of naivete among white liberals about that era. It’s a little different than how conservatives do with that era but a lot of white progressives miss the mark big time when they act like the system just started getting unfair.

There’s a key difference in “racism and classism are intertwined and neither can be addressed w/o addressing the other” and “classism causes racism and solving classism will necessarily solve racism in the end”

It’s amazing how many folks are coming out of the woodworks on this particular weekend to say that Racism necessarily is caused by class and that we must only focus on class to solve it, all the while shitting on the very concept of ‘identity politics’.
It’s like…you know, MLK worked on civil rights AND worker’s rights. That doesn’t mean that they’re the exact same issue or that he believed they were the exact same issue. It just means they’re interconnected in a way that you can’t solve one without the other. Not that solving one automatically solves the other.

re: #6 Charles Johnson
It’s such an obviously false claim. I think the only reason so many people believe it is because it gives white people an excuse to avoid the real issues.
My main issue is that, in many ways, that boom happened precisely on the back of exclusion of blacks and other minorities from the benefits of New Deal programs and other things that contributed to the post-war boom, not to mention the cultural appropriations of such things like Rock ‘n Roll that ended up characterizing the generation, as well as cultural alliances with previous out-groups (such as Italians, Irish, etc.) to expand that ‘White’ pie precisely to exclude other minorities from economic benefit among other things.
This is why I can’t dismiss the idea that there’s a connection between economics and classism and racism (along with any other form of xenophobia). It’s just that it’s more likely that racism will inspire classism rather than the reverse, because half the point is to exclude the ‘other’ from what you believe to be ‘rightfully’ yours. They’re not the same issue, but they’re incestuous cousins that help propagate and perpetuate one another and compound each other’s effects.
What a lot of people don’t want to acknowledge and I say this as a descendant of that famous white working class that gets mythologized but we lost a lot of them because they didn’t like that the Dems embraced teh promise of The New Deal for people of color. That honestly is why I’m actually for all his faults a bigger admirer of LBJ than I am of FDR though obviously FDR was the better war time leader.

I agree, but what you’re saying here is that racists use economic means to enforce their power, which is definitely true. My point is simply that even if you take away all their money, racists still gonna racist. It’s not dependent on money. Money can be used to exploit racism, sure, but it didn’t cause the racism and fixing economic inequality won’t affect the racism.

Scaremongering about an “other” coming to “take all the jobs” is as American as Ma and the apple pie and totally predates baseball. It initially started out on cultural lines before the rise of abolitionism scared the “job creators” that millions of freed slaves would flood the labor market and thus drive up the cost of labor. The common retort to the “Lost Cause” crowd that most folks didn’t own slaves was that white men in the South were subjected to constant scaremongering that they’d be forced to compete with “cheap” black labor if slavery went away. At least with slavery in place, they might have a chance at a job in the factories that were springing up as a result of the coming Industrial Revolution.
Fast-forward a century and the Civil Rights Era saw much of the same, namely the idea that equality would mean white men competing on equal terms with “ni-CLANGs” in a work force that was increasingly being automated. So it should come as no shock that as we experience the next big leap in automation, the increasingly smaller market for unskilled labor is driving yet another spike of racism at the same time that “identity politics” is gaining ground.

My own opinion is that racism probably originally evolved as a survival trait, and is now a dangerous vestigial factor in how the human brain operates. It’s so widespread in so many societies, I believe it has to be something about the way humans are wired.
I thikn there’s this naive belief if you just promise economic populism then all the people who have voted GOP before will just hop on board. It’s just not true.

And this, by the way, would be why it resists all efforts to educate or argue it out of existence. The real gains against racism, it seems to me, come from mass disapproval of racists and their garbage. Right now we’re seeing what happens when the opposite is true, when the racists actually gain power because they’re being facilitated by morally bankrupt media and irresponsible social media.

I’d argue that what we’re seeing is more the common seesawing of national opinion as each generation ages out in favor of the younger generation. The Boomers who ushered in the Civil Rights Era are now in the spot their grandparents were, arguing that their Millenial and Gen Z grandkids are going “too far too fast” and that racial equality needs to be achieved gradually rather than forced.

I believe it can be inoculated against, but there will be resistance against such inoculation from the usual suspects… The simplest way to inoculate is controlled exposure to the business end of prejudice.
This idea that racism is tied to economic well being flies in the face of the history of the world, where the richest and most dominant nations still embedded racism in their societies.

Yeah, it’s part-and-parcel of the neo-Marxian view of the world as a place where all men act rationally on their economic interests. Why discriminate against a black guy at a lunch counter when all that does is reduce the amount of money your soda shop makes?
In a rationalist world, racism would disappear as the economic pie is more equally distributed. We do not live in that world.

Morally bankrupt, but acting according to clear economic interests at Fox and Clear Channel/Sinclair/OANN. Their audience of dimwit yokels responds well to Fear Of Other, whether that be black, Latino or Muslim.
The more hate/fear the rightwing outlets shovel out, the more dedicated their audience becomes, the more ads they are able to sell. But like all drugs the initial thrill of the transgressive fades, and the dosage has to get higher and higher.
What’s the end game here? Is it truly civil war II?

I guess we might be kinda saying the same thing. My point is that both are very real and both help perpetuate each other but each can persist without the help of the other, but at the rate they’re intertwined, you can’t really solve one without addressing the other in some capacity. But yeah, solving one still means you actually have to solve the other. Just because it’s become easier to address still means you actually have to address it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have things like Redlining, far lesser social/economic mobility for minorities, upper class black families being treated worse than significantly poorer white families, etc. You wouldn’t have sentence disparities, stop & frisk, etc.

It’s the lily-livered “centrist” media, like the NYT, WaPo, NBC, CNN, etc., that wring their hands about using the word “racist” to describe the crazy race-hate being slung about by Trump and signal-boosted via the right-wing echo chamber.
It started with the “Mexicans are rapists and murderers” opening statement. If the news networks had gotten together and declared, “We will not give airtime to someone spouting such obviously racist views,” then Trump would have withered into obscurity.
But instead, CNN and CBS gave him $2BN worth of free airtime to inject his poisonous race hate into the veins of America.

It’s well to remember the networks are run by people who create entertainment and in many ways I guess the news is entertainment but we’ve entered an absurdity where the former host of The Apprentice is treated as credible candidate as the former Secretary of State. No, prior elected experience shouldn’t be mandatory but there was a disgusting indifference by a lot of the media to ignore Trump’s fundamental lack of qualification for the office besides the Constitutionally required. Meanwhile the same people who loved that about him or ignored that scoffed at a man who was a former US Senator and state and worked as a community organizer.

I must admit I tend to disagree on this one. I think it’s taught to us. Learned behavior. My bias here is that pending some better evidence I hate to give an excuse “I was born that way” to these cretins. Or harder to undue according to these hard wired impulses.

I suspect the brain scans were showing reactions to negative stimulus, not the race angle.
In either case, it’s a choice to act on these impulses or resist them and act like a decent human being instead. I bet a buck we agree there. Like violence, which in at least a defensive sense we are surely hardwired for. But the propensity for violence varies widely in our cultures globally. It’s a puzzle.

Since we’re talking racism, a recent video from IAS is a presentation of a researcher looking at the history of government securitization/credit in the US and how central that has been to our contemporary lives. Racism isn’t really touched on until about 28 minutes into the video, but the whole presentation is worth watching. The systemic nature of racism in a society is something about which the reactionary right today likes to pretend isn’t a thing… but it is a thing.

Well yeah, we could spend billions implementing changes in our basic lives that would not only slow climate change, but even work on methods of reversing it.
OR, and I think we’re all agreed this is the better option, we could spend that same money on changing a whole ‘nother planet on a timescale that ensures our planet will have long ago wiped us out by the time such efforts begin to bear fruit.

It’s well to remember the networks are run by people who create entertainment and in many ways I guess the news is entertainment but we’ve entered an absurdity where the former host of The Apprentice is treated as credible candidate as the former Secretary of State. No, prior elected experience shouldn’t be mandatory but there was a disgusting indifference by a lot of the media to ignore Trump’s fundamental lack of qualification for the office besides the Constitutionally required. Meanwhile the same people who loved that about him or ignored that scoffed at a man who was a former US Senator and state and worked as a community organizer.
The movies “Network” and “Broadcast News” were essentially cautionary tales of what may come to pass. And we’ve since blown right past that.

That after months of floating various “defenses” like “He has unlimited authority!” or “He was so concerned about corruption!” or even “This is all a hoax, read the transcript!!!”, these immoral and unethical fucks will let a criminal president slide because House Dems did not let them turn impeachment into a three ring circus.

Yes indeed. I caught and brought in a feral kitty, and have to needle points to prove it. She is very sweet, so I’m working to get her settled down enough to have her fixed, and permanently part of the family. Her mother arrived several years ago, has proceeded to have three litters of kittens, and the daughter has had two, as had a sister. And all have disappeared. Now it is bitter cold, and I just couldn’t bear to think of her outside by herself. She has one brother left that stops by every now and again, so I keep food and water out for him. This one is the only one I was able to get my hands on. The last thing I need are the 20 that were lost, but they were beautiful cats, and I hate their loss. And how they probably died. Ugh! Don’t think about it!
1) Overturning the 2016 election would mean Hillary Clinton would become president if Trump is removed. In the *real world* it’d be Mike Pence.

This is the right thing to do, thanks for that. But I have to ask what is going on in this government that EVERYONE seems to be under the spell of a semi-literate mobbed up con man?

This shit that’s going on with Trump? I never voted for any of this and it’s seriously pissing me off.
OK, you guys probably already knew that. But damn is it pissing me off.— Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) January 19, 2020

I visited the Arans in college. Off the coast of Galway. These are more south. Would be a fun job. Hopefully there’s a good pub on the island with good trad music and craic.
