That, I think, is one more reason why "white" workers should identify with black workers, instead of white bourgeoisie & petit-bourgeoisie who really don't think that "white" workers are "of their own race." Why strive to join the white club who don't accept you _even in symbolic terms_ (to say nothing of objective contradiction between capital and labor)?
