The DLC's Failed Southern Strategy and Understanding Southern Society

[jwirr]

36. Are you sure you understood the post? s/he is saying that it is a problem

in the minds of white people. Not that people of color do not understand the problem. In fact BLM is trying to tell us that this is a white problem - close minded whites who work to keep people of color down any way they can.

In other words it is the white mind that thinks they are and should be at the top of the heap. And the author is just tracing where that idea comes from.

It is the white mind that has to change and forget this pyramid idea they have about class and race.

I will add that when we fight it from the idea of racism we just get closed minds and a backlash as we saw here on DU a place it should never exist. The author is suggesting that if we approach this issue from the point of view of what it is costing the haters to hate they MAY open their minds and think about the whole situation.

I say MAY because there is never a sure way to make them think.
