If she's really trying to say "Rich white people push racism to make sure poor whites never realize how much they have in common with poor minorities and how little they have in common with rich whites"... then frankly, she's right.
Sure - I also agree. This has been a thing for decades, though - the Southern Strategy - and she's managed to frame it in such a way that white poor people are doubly evil. Because white people are only evil, never also victims.
I also find it interesting because attempting to pit people against each other over racism so they wouldn't focus on classism/income inequality used to be the domain of the right, but nowadays the left is just as guilty of it, if not moreso. And this post is a good example of that, because it's clearly coming from a left perspective and is recognising the problem, but still uses that as a chance to divide people over race.
