The poorest people in this country are black and brown. The first people impacted by environmental disasters (and soon climate change) will be black and brown (Katrina, oil spills, [1]). That's why the people you decry as focusing too much on identity politics are at the forefront of pushing for universal healthcare, broader safety nets, and environmental regulations.

You're making my point, you can't control yourself!

Race and climate aren't naturally connected concepts. It's fair to conclude you use race and class in this way as a wedge to divide people and pit them against one another in order to batter your political enemies and increase your power.

If you want to be a Marxist, just be a Marxist and don't hide your beliefs.
