The big business media go out of their way to publicize those who promote racial separatism and divisions. The Oakland affair is no different. Nonetheless, the political implications of these propositions for the working class must be carefully considered. Against racial theorists of every stripe, biology long ago established that genetic differences between supposed racial groups are far smaller than those existing within each group. Language, moreover, originates not from the genes, but from social interaction.
Languages develop and change.
Over the course of human history ancient languages have become extinct and new languages have taken their place. The speech patterns of every section of modern-day American society are the product of a complex web of historical and environmental factors. Wave upon wave of immigration together with the vast internal migrations, for example, of poor Southern blacks as well as whites to the industrial North, have played their part. So too have geography, technology and, crucially, class divisions. This supposed explanation has been invented to cover up real causes which are obvious to anyone who cares to look.
