It’s more an explanation to why white people keep falling for the carrot of petite bourgeois privilege and how they have historically sold out the poc in working class movements for that privilege than it is outright saying it’s futile for poc to organize with white Americans. That organization does require white Americans to take stock of that privilege and keep their eye on the prize of full liberation and not just jump ship for the first concession capital gives exclusively to them, which has historically been our stumbling block. being aware of and acknowledging that history and those conditions is the only way you’ll overcome them en masse. The problem is a lot of white leftists take that critique personally bc they don’t want to reckon with the implications of it.
While this paragraph is from a completely different book and deals with the contradiction of the first and third world, the message is the same as what you're saying here.
