From : Moving Onward: From Racial Division to Class Unity "Unifying the new class of the poor is today's most pressing political question.In America, creating unity means confronting the legacy of slavery, white supremacy and racism. White and black have been shaped by this legacy,.... Like all ideas and attitudes, they grew out of the material conditions of the society that invented them. Race, racism and white supremacy were created along with the development of capitalism....today, electronics is not only destroying the economy but tearing apart society's fabric. No idea can survive the destruction of the material foundation for its creation; as that foundation is swept away, the old idea itself shrinks in importance...Electronics promises a world in which humanity can be freed from backbreaking toil. Upon its foundation a new society can be built in which all can share equally in its fruits."
