http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/11/12/pers-n12.html The Militant offered a similar view. http://www.themilitant.com/2016/8044/804402.html I can go this far with them. I expect the level of racism today is lower than 80 years ago when Trotsky referred to the white working class in the US as hangmen and beasts. And the white working class is hardly uniform. There is a range of views on race. At the same time, if the vote for Trump were simply a result of economic hardship, we should expect the pro-Trump vote to be higher among blacks and Hispanics. Clearly, there was a racial divide. A large number of white workers, even if they did not share Trump's racist views, were willing to overlook them as they decided their vote. ken h _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
