Was Brown V. Board the “wrong choice” because many whites disliked it and rallied against it?
Yes. Doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t deal with issues of race, though.
It is not in the past, it’s right here. With us, working both through class and race. It’s not a fake concept cooked up by the elites. It’s real and has material consequences. the suggesting is that we at least deal with the material consequences of it. If some whites want to stamp their feet and whine because it’s “unfair” that we address hundreds of years of systemtic racism instead of JUST class, that won’t be the first time they’ve done that. If you want to address racism, YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS RACISM, not pretend that because it’s a social construct that it doesn’t exist.
YES!
