The appeals to white supremacy that were central to the Tea Party's initial burst ( opposition to the rights of dark skinned immigrants, Glenn Beck's specialty;; Obama is a dark skinned foreigner not born in the US; going to Congress and calling Black representatives niggers; etc) demonstrate perfectly the integral relationship between white supremacy and attacking the whole working class. The Tea Party in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio etc. got elected based majorly on these appeals to white supremacy. Upon taking office they immediately set out to attack collective bargaining rights of all workers, white workers included.
This is a continuation of the right-wing approach since Nixon's Southern Strategy or Reagan's attack on welfare as a program for freeloading Black people. "Leftists" who deny the critical role of appeals to white supremacy in the strategy of the US ruling class are not worthy of being called "Leftists".
