Watch this.
Baldwin presents an argument I agree with that responds to nothing I've written, so what is the relevance?
edit: I'm guessing it's this:
Race is an invention, then, and the black man should feel closeness to the white man who is in his position in life, that of a worker. Yet here we see the way Baldwin approaches this way of dividing men, and of the brazenness in which the white intellectual dismisses the notions of race.
Oh, hey, I was right. Very surprising.
Yeah, see, it was that part: a severe misapprehension of the implications of something being a social construct. That doesn't mean it has no consequences in reality; quite the opposite.
Addressing the original post - globalist leftists tout race and racial injustices, while I demonstrated one example in which racial diversity is adverse to worker's unions and worker's rights. In this way, I was saying that globalist leftists attack and dismantle worker's rights.
All that was demonstrated is that the invention of race is still performing its intended function centuries later; you're just making up straw people to be angry at.
...what straw people, you?
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination | United Nations
Racial and ethnic discrimination occur on a daily basis, hindering progress for millions of people around the world. Racism and intolerance can take various forms — from denying individuals the basic principles of equality to fuelling ethnic hatred that may lead to genocide — all of which can...
Yes, back in my first post.
Leftists abandoned the working classes in favor of things such as diversity.The eternal leftist: Do we support unions and worker's rights, or do we support diversity?

Whole Foods Secretly Upgrades Tech to Target and Squash Unionizing Efforts
Data collected by Whole Foods suggests that stores with low racial and ethnic diversity are more likely to unionize.observer.com
Whole Foods employs roughly 95,000 people nationwide. Data collected in the heat map suggest that stores with low racial and ethnic diversity, especially those located in poor communities, are more likely to unionize. That’s a lot to unpack about your favorite place to buy expensive organic pasta sauce. When a Whole Foods suddenly pops up in a low-income neighborhood, it’s always a nail in the coffin that gentrification is in progress—and rents are about to go through the roof.

evidence.
What is my link.
edit: Imagine if I were to demand evidence of the marxist theory you were repeating.
It is very much so. The way in which labor strongholds have abandoned the Labor party in the UK, are also evidence to this, and a response of the "working class" you like to idolize towards the people that pretend to represent them.
Which is, global leftists push diversity, immigration, multiculturalism, in order to disrupt and destroy social cohesion to sabotage any attempts at trade unions and worker's rights.
You're not describing a thing that exists in any significant way, and certainly not anything of the left.
The point you're making is...not the point you intend to make.
Capitol drove a rift between labor and civil rights during the Gilded Age, particularly by employing convict leasing and black scab labor strategically against then-segregated unions. See, for example, the Pullman strike of 1894. Those tensions culminated and were a major contributing factor to the Red Summer of 1919. You're right to say that continues today thanks to capitol's continual aggravation of tension between labor and civil rights, particularly by branding labor rights activists as racist to poison the well, and I would go so far as to even say many if not most social justice activists today are little more than useful idiots to the very capitol they claim to oppose.
But that's not "leftists" doing it. That's a third party -- the ultra wealthy and their apparatus -- employing a divide and conquer strategy against the left. Leftists, by and large, just have yet to see the big lie.
And yes, race is a social construct. Get over it.
