Petite bourgeoisie are demons who will shoot kids (pictured) before forming class conciousness.
Someone who will chase a child and shoot him in the back over water is not a human being like you and me.
South Carolina is scorching hot. You probably think a human being would give a bottle for free to a child in this heat. But a petite bourgeoisie only cares about their profit margins, they dont consider human dignity or comfort.
They are the same breed as landlords who will kick out a mother and her kids over unpaid rent, their bank accounts just dont have the same numbers yet.
A family of demons chased a human boy for wanting a water bottle in scorching South Carolina heat.
They probably couldnt tell it was hot. They do not have empathy, neither should you.
I grew up with Chinese immigrants as neighbours who did not hesitate to give me a glass of orange juice or water. Comrades of all races are against this verdict.
It is of utmost importance we encourage a class-based outlook and racial solidarity despite any conflicts between individuals. It is not ”Asian people falsely accuse Black kids of stealing and then shoot them” but ”The petite bourgeoisie utilizes violence to protect their capital”, and furthermore ”As does the bourgeoisie on an even larger scale with systemic means”.
Don’t let individual incidents create broader hostility between races. Keep attention on the big picture of social and economic structures and prioritize cooperation among working-class people of different races.
Systemic racism is a real factor embedded in the US though. Stuff like “no war but class war” is typically what white people say when they want to pretend that dismantling systemic racism doesn’t matter.
So though I agree that having solidarity across racialized lines is important, and breaking down those lines is important, we can’t shunt it off to only being class conflict either. It’s simply not the case that it is only a class issue. It is more complicated than that. To understand why, you can ask, “Would the same story happen to a white boy?” If it’s likely not, that shows it’s clearly not just a class issue. That the dehumanization of black people, along with the dehumanization that comes from class, creates a much more viscerally intense form of antagonism toward black people.
I wanted to ask if there was a story with this, but I searched instead.
This is not surprising in the United States, but of course that it’s the South makes it especially poignant.
Thank you for providing context, it is sad but youre right, not surprising
No problem. It was uhh … an articulable suspicion, so I searched it.
The suburbs are so cool my folks would consider me completely unrecognizable in a hoodie and ask if someone had been looking around to steal. I’d be like guys that was me. That was me coming home. They’d be like no, no
Man it would have been funny if they shot me
Who is the second person?
