Which is also why so many of the minority Democrats were not fans of the “Let’s focus on class issues, which are the real inequality, and all the rest will take care of itself!” approach of Bernie and a lot of his supporters.

There’s a lot of historical precedent for the white unionists, suffragettes, feminists and other progressive / leftist groups selling out the PoC as long as they get what they want.

Yup.

OTOH, “let’s ignore class issues and focus on creating a multiracial plutocracy” doesn’t cut it, either.

Race, class and gender; the Axis of Oppression. You can’t fix just part of it; gotta do it all.
