Bacon’s Rebellion (1676 Virginia uprising that united folx across race lines) terrified the elite so much that they immediately established classes based on race and turned black people into the scapegoat.
Racism is a tool used to control us.
After the reconstruction ended the former plantation owning elite made alliances across class lines with poor whites to protect their power by stoking division through racism. It’s always the same shit.

Black people would exist in large numbers in America if it wasn’t for a class system that was already based on race
