It took most Black folks 400 years to mobilize upwards from slavery under capitalism in America. And many of the civil rights that were hard won in the mid-century have been eroded practically overnight. Racism has always been a cornerstone of capitalism, and still is, condoning exploitation of people by casting them as less than human. Upward mobility is measurably harder if you're brown. I agree, we must do better.
