Historically speaking, successful social change for the better, eg revolutions, has almost always come only when certain middle class/privileged people joined with underprivileged people.
Attacking anyone who is richer or whiter than yourself, when they are on the same side as you, is stupid.
Successful for whom? You do see the problem, right?
To add to this: You do see the irony in replying to a post about white activism and its hypocrisy with “well, activism works better when white people get involved”? Right? RIGHT?
What on earth makes you think I was referring to “white people” getting involved in non-white struggle??? Modern American race politics is meaningless in the context of the last thousand years of historical change.
I recommend you get yourself a copy of, say, The People’s History of the World and read up on social change in ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Caliphates etc.
What I am talking about is simply a matter of historical record.
A specifically non-white non-western example I can give you off the top of my head is the importance of the involvement of warrior caste people like Adbaraya Toya in the Haitian revolution.
Leave it to the white man to dismiss the impact of their parasitic race on the entirety of the world as “modern American race politics”. Oh, how I would love to have the privilege to afford to be as uneducated as you. Do you just namedrop shit you have no knowledge of or have you looked at the fallout of your stupid examples? Hint: Oligarchy.

Well, that was a swing and a miss. Thanks for making me smile.
