    Well we’re having these discussions now so that’s definitely a good thing and probably something you wouldn’t have seen as much in the time periods settler was talking about. I think things are improving for sure I just think it’s good to be cautious about saying everything is equal and coming into leftist spaces saying that bc we still have a lot of work to do to get there and it definitely privileges white people for that to bc widespread if I’m making sense.

    Sorry I’m writing these between editing at work so if I’m being inarticulate that’s why lol

      No worries! I get what you're saying, and I agree. Sorry if it seems like I was saying that white supremacy doesn't exist in left spaces or that whiteness isn't still a major hurdle, maybe the biggest, to broad working class solidarity. I just meant that, as conditions in the US continue to spiral, perhaps the barriers that separate white workers from a lasting class conciousness (one that includes their privileged relationship to PoC workers) aren't as concrete as they were in Sakai's day, or in the eras he examined.
