aside from Dennis's astute points about the actual content of the article 
which wasn't faulting anyone and, in fact, pointed to some of the incorrect 
ideas held by some activists of color, how does American society create 
these structural barriers?

"Despite that sponsorship, I hope this list will be a forum for speaking 
across intellectual and social boundaries that have divided the left, such 
as it is, for too long. Among these oppositions I'd like to see worked 
through are ones like class/identity, cultural politics/"real" politics, 
Marxism/postmodernism, universal/particularist, activism/theory, 
economics/culture, nature/labor; nature/culture, and labor/culture."
