    The Class and Racial Struggle

    Today's show focus on the Class and Racial Struggle, as it pertains to the rise of capitalism and how the United States shifted from a labor force of poor white indentured servants to black chattel slavery, and later to a racial struggle. While homelessness and poverty affect all races, adults, children, males, and females in the United States, the capital interest of the rich and powerful with their false ideological construction of race has divided the masses based on race. As such, poverty would become synonymous with blacks living in the urban cities and toiling in the farm fields of southern states by the 1960s and beyond. Support the show (https://bpmproduction.org)
