Wow, no response from the intelligentsia of this board. I'm not sure how to take that. Coz? Mistress? Wheel? Ether? Liz? Anyone?

I watched it, thought it was quite insightful actually.
Mr. Coz and Chief were probably in conniptions, so they didn't respond.
there we go, just right. keep walking...
Sorry, Louis, haven't been around as much cause of moving, just watched the video...
The ideas he's talking about aren't new, although he articulates them very well. You should check out a book by David Roediger called "The Wages of Whiteness" which was the ground-breaking bbook which talked about the development of the idea of whiteness in the working class community.
Overall, his argument is the classical Marxist one which is that race is only an issue to mask the real issue which is class. And I completely agree with this. There are more poor people than wealthy people, but dividing us by culture/ by race/ etc. is the best way to keep the population down, prevent revolution.
“Sometimes we just need someone to show us something we can’t see for ourselves.”
Absolutely. I've been saying that for a while and didn't know it was Marxist.
So patience... is nothing...
I can't get it to play. Busy week at work and they block streaming video... Now at home I can't get it to play (goes to first 2 seconds and freezes).
Peace
Shut down other apps and it finally worked.
Interesting perspective... I never looked at it from that angle.
Peace
Alright
Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
And ain't nobody callin' the cops
'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
And every block from all around
Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
"Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
Yeah...

it seems on point as far as I've watched ( it locked up at about 1/2 way) - with my limited knowledge of American history..
as I personally havent read anything on the specific topic I found it very interesting and insightful

THIS IS HOW YOU "SHIT STIR", MY FRIEND:
Russian Marxists' perspective:
In the ideology of Bolsheviks, intelligentsia is not a real class; its status is described by the Russian word "prosloyka", which is normally translated as "stratum," but in this context bears a deteriorative nuance. In other words, intelligentsia does not have a "real" place in the structure of the society: it is a midlayer between "toilers" and "exploiters". Intelligentsia grows by means of "recruiting" from among the people of labor, but its produce, i.e., the produce of its intellectual labor is just a sort of goods ordered and paid by the exploiter class. Hence its independence is a mere ideological illusion, and in fact intelligentsia is by large a class of "lackeys" of bourgeoisie and landowners. While de facto being an exploited category, en masse it lacks the revolutionary drive. Ironically, this theory was put forth by the representatives of intelligentsia itself, notably Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky among many others. In particular, Lenin is famous for his caustic remark that "[the] intelligentsia is not the 'brain of the nation', it is the 'shit of the nation'".
