Re: [Marxism] Was there ever a movement of "the 'white' U.S. workingclass"?

Joquin Bustelo asked, "Was there ever a movement of "the 'white' U.S.
working class"?"

The answer is, regionally yes, nationally no. The Working Man's Party of San
Francisco, and a couple of decades later the Union Labor Party both in San
Francisco, were self-consciously "white" workers movements.

Anthony, this is interesting information, but, just to avoid any possible
misunderstanding, it misses the sense of what I was asking, which wasn't
about whether any self-consciously white, exclusionary labor groups had ever
been set up, but whether the social base of the broad social movement of
workers much in evidence in the country from the late 1800's until the
mid-1900's could truly be considered "fully" white.
