Race is also a class issue since no matter how nicely dressed black Americans are, how well spoken and educated, ignorant racists will always just slot them into the "shiftless, poor, trash" category based only on skin color. That includes the cops who do DWB stops based on the bigoted idiocy that a black person driving a new car must have stolen it.

This is why social and economic justice have to be intertwined, as much as light switch personalities hate the idea.
