take on White Supremacy as their own.

Like OK, I can sort of understand the argument against migrants forcing down labor pricing and taking jobs (though I really don't agree but's its too nuanced to try and explain here. The short answer is its why NAFTA failed. People can easily see losing their job to NAFTA but not the economy growing and creating jobs to NAFTA).

But too many times I've seen black people freak out because, their new neighbor/co-worker/doctor is non-white (but not black) but totally comfortable with white people in those roles.

I hope most black people would share that they have more in common with a brown person with good politics than an indifferent white person.
