    Charles Mills discussing Linda Martin Alcoff's work is the world at work in a good way.

    He thinks any philosophy not validated by history is racist. This is the charge he levels against John Rawls & liberal moralist philosophy.
    In other words, nothing is valid unless it's valid in practice. Which is to say, that everything must have precedents in history &, therefore, nothing can be unprecedented.
    It's like saying Jackson Pollock is a racist painter because his art is not figurative & therefore an injustice because it can't be prefigured by figurative art, in the past.

      Orthodox/traditional Marxism sees class as primary over race and gender secondary to human oppression-which is a euro white perspective. The new left , nationalist and revolutionary and radical feminist had to force these perspectives to be addressed.

      @@courtneykerr1029 But in today's academia, don't you think that those fake leftists /Marxists are trying to use race as an ideological cover of the internal contradictions in the capitalist system? Those who claim that there is "systematic racism" always argue that, under neoliberal policies, black and Latinx communities are hit in the toughest way. Then how do you solve that problem? By firing white employees and employing black and Latinx ones? What we really need is a revolution which first and foremost change the economic system (in this sense the classical Marxist analysis is absolutely still correct), not just to criticize in what way was Marx "racist". We need to redistribute social labor time and its products more equally. So that everybody, because of the progress of technology, can have a job (maybe work 4 days a week, and even less) enjoy more products and work less. This is the original promise of Marx. Today's Marxists (or neo-Marxists, if you prefer) do not ignore the problem of race at all; as a Maoist, I would claim that in some situations, the struggle against racism may be the primary struggle; but today, as I said, in whatever way you want to fight racism, you will always find the economic problem waiting at the bottom. Wake up! Don't be deceived by fake leftists like Charles Mills; by criticizing all classical European thinkers, those fake leftists are depriving all people, light-colored and dark-colored, of the real weapons to fight against the oppressors.

      implicit forms of racialized exclusion are however disguised from the public's gaze by their very normalcy. In the context of the occasional explosion of overt forms of racist expression the non articulated racialized practices within player cultures do not reveal themselves in the public imagination in the same ways. In turn this enables football to discard the notion that racism exists inside the game's professional structures either at a player or institutional level whilst stating its public opposition to overt forms of racism found amongst the fans and individual players. Colin King has pointed out in his recent work that black players who are trying to break into coaching and management are confronted with implicit rules and social forces that inhibit and confound their ambitions. More than this, he argues, black players have to both second guess the implicit barriers that affect their fortunes but also find it necessary to mirror whiteness in the way they conduct themselves in order to fit in
