The convo you’re having here is very off to me. You’re not making a sharp class analysis if you’re denying how race and capitalism are intertwined. For some reason you seem to think pinning this “race obsession” on media brainwashing is a legitimate critique instead of a poor excuse to deny the reality of racial tension in America. But whether you acknowledge it or not, the fact of anti-Blackness and other racisms remain, as they are predicated by an ongoing history that pours into our (Black people, in this case) daily lives. This whole “Black Student Union causes more divide” thing is crap. What causes divide is the lived experience of anti-Blackness in modern society, and we Black people are obviously more than right for using solidarity as a way to preserve ourselves during it. If you want to deny us or any deeply marginalized group this right, then you are quite literally part of the problem, and history has proven that time after time.
