(42,649 posts)As to JPR, I follow that site as well as DU and also post under my name at JPR.
Personally, I do not see how one can separate social justice from economic justice. There is no way that I as a white male can truly be free if every other worker in the country is not free. I can understand how a Marxist analysis can lead to the conclusion that economics is the only important consideration, but any economic gains won by one small group, in this xase white union workers, can easily be taken away if the rich demonize that one group.
What happened to unions in the Reagan years is just one example. Predominantly white unions were attacked by the GOP and because most workers were not union members the struggle was not seen as a universal one.
And yes I did see that certain people here dismissed non-white issues as "not as important" in the grand struggle.
