Both 'purely' natural (biological) and social theories of race are wrong

is because of the "physiognomic rule" -- physiognomic traits are
biologically inherited.

“Black and white, unite and fight!” is extremely disheartening to a man that believes in “Proletarians of the World Unite!, and “Workers and Oppressed People of the World Unite!,” which appears to perhaps be historically obsolete, given our current stage in the development of capital world wide.
hat it isn't
"real". Or that just because someone is anti-racist that they do not
benefit from their "whiteness" in a white supremacist society.
