Wow, this book really makes sense! Uuuuuurrrrggggghhh, everything is stemmed from capitalism!
This book argues that white supremacy is necessary to distract frustrations and angers among white working-class people from issues that they really need to face—exploitation. White working-class people are in reality exploited by the capitalist as other races in the working class. However, their whiteness prevents them from thinking of their real issues. Basically, white working-class people are insecure in terms of employment. They are uneducated, unskilled workers. They work for meager wages. Even though they work hard, they are always exposed to a threat of being laid off. The instability of their mind is converted into racial antagonism (white supremacy). White supremacists tend to think that black workers are a threat because they are taking white jobs. Though black workers may be able to take white jobs, however, they cannot take whiteness away from white working-class people. Whiteness is the last and ultimate refuge for the poor white.
From the capitalist’s point of view, white supremacy in the working class is favorable because angers among working-class people are not targeted at the capitalist as long as the poor white and the colored poor are hating each other. Thus, white supremacy is supporting and disguising capitalist exploitation.
Uuuuuurrrrgggghhhh, capitalism!
