Is There a Difference Between Blackness and Class?
Roxanne Jones: Too much of this discussion is anchored to or it's happening in elite spaces. If you're a black person occupying a very different social space and someone like you or me now today, do you really have a choice to not identify as black if the world you swim in every day is constantly reinforcing that identity? She says we could clear up a lot of confusion about essentialism and racial categorization if we would spend more time dwelling on ramifications of social class.
