but his point was that types who embrace neoliberal economic policy tend to ignore race in place of class (IF they acknowledge it) often. which is true. hence the laissez-faire, privatize everything, capitalize everything, with reduced to no state interference.

economically, it tends to place much faith in meritocracy via markets. which on paper, should ignore things like critical race theory.

he also acknowledged that his own take is a heavily OPINIONATED definition of neoliberalism, like Cornel West's is.
