Thank you. You and Heather McGhee (although I haven't read the book yet) address the same conundrum which plagued W.E.B. Du Bois - how "the theory of race was supplemented by a carefully planned and slowly evolved method, which drove such a wedge between the white and black workers that there probably are not today in the world two groups of workers with practically identical interests who hate and fear each other so deeply and persistently and who are kept so far apart that neither sees anything of common interest." (from Black Reconstruction in America).

We need more pointing out this "common interest" so "we can prosper together."
