I’m not reading this long of a comment when you’re just trying to justify away racism.

Oh OK, the comment is long so just accuse me of trying to justify away racism instead. And of mansplaining. Super reasonable.

By the way, the TLDR version of my too-long comment is in the EDIT above. Tweet sized: «The engine was political economy, the distribution was racialized and gendered. Let's do the former without the latter.»

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Part of mansplaining is inventing a position to argue against so you can 'splain to someone like you know better than them. All I said was that it was only true for white families. Which you've admitted was the case. So what else are you doing here trying to explain away what was still a fact due to racism?? Sure, it wasn't necessarily the driving force, but it was a fact, and it's weird to be nostalgic for a time that actually sucked for a broad segment of the population. White families had it better than black families, and capitalists wouldn't have given up all that they did if those benefits had to actually be for everyone.
