That's what I meant.  I mean that I think people on
here already recognize that black people are "a
people."  However vague that is.  But generally just
suggesting they've been through the same hellish
conditions - slavery, segregation, etc.  That they're
marked in a special way by their skin color in
relation to the state apparatus (legal system cops) in
relation to the culture in general.  Who doesn't
recognize this?

Joaquin's suggesting people are liquidating the
national question into the class question by I guess
considering black workers workers first and black as a
kind of relatively unimportant footnote.  Maybe that's
going on here but I haven't seen that much evidence.
On the contrary i think Wayne Rossi who's been the
focus of this attack certainly doesn't think that.
Maybe he could speak to this?
