juanrosamp‘s post mentions that “one of the key points of the Communist Manifesto is that the bourgeois takes advantage of the proletariat in order to maintain and increase their wealth”. This relates to the “Whiteness and Race” article and “The Case For Reparations” article. Because both deal with white supremacy, with the white people being like the bourgeois, and the African Americans being the proletariat, and being taken advantage of, specifically their labor in order to increase the Southerners wealth in the 1800s. While the “Whiteness and Race” article by David R. Roediger focuses more on the literature about white racial identity and the idea about “becoming white”with European immigrants, there still is a theme about racial superiority being talked about. This is also true for “The Case For Reparations” article, by The Atlantic because its about the struggle that African Americans had to go through in order to own a house back in the 1920s; and how there are still things that are going on in real estate that result in African Americans not getting the best loans for houses. In the “Whiteness and Race” article, it mentions how studies on marxism raised issues of how immigrants into the U.S. learn about white supremacy. One point that i found interesting while reading the “Whiteness and Race” article was that even though Italian immigrants did not make a point of claiming themselves as white even though they participated in campaigns to only allow Caucasians into the neighborhoods that they lived in.
