As noted in that article, there's a big chunk of voters who don't believe that class inequality is at the root of racial privilege.
Because it isn't. At least, not entirely. Most of the lower class is white. Most white people are lower class. Also, most black people are lower class. It is true that a larger percentage of black people are lower class (and a smaller percentage are upper class) compared to the respective populations, and a lot of that is legacy racism / inequality.
So where would I fall in this spectrum? We need civil rights, but we also need to reduce wealth inequality (both as it exists, and the mechanisms that perpetuate it like unfair tax treatment where rich people pay little taxes compared to ordinary folks paying W2 rates, stepped-up bases, and so forth). In very general terms.
I don't really see it as either/or. They are in large part interrelated.
