    As I replied to the other person

    I’m not saying to ignore them but to really understand them you have to start with class as it is the bedrock upon which racial and gender discrimination is built. They are not separate systems but simply sub and super sets of the same system.

      In that sense, I agree. If we start on the basis of class, we’ll understand the dynamics at play that drives discrimination

        We already know if we stop and listen to women and POC about these issues.

          Absolutely. As a privileged member of the working class, I need to listen to the people I’m trying to help and follow their lead. It’s my job to center their struggle and support them, not steal the lime light as a white savior
