Solidarity is not automatic

In response to by Glen Ford:
I have lived in the US for 45 years, and conclude that the majority of white (Christian) Americans remain racists. While there is less racism toward African Americans, the bias against Muslims and especially Palestinians has grown tremendously, orchestrated by the Jewish lobby. Blacks are Christians, totally influenced by the pro-Israeli media, are anti Palestinians.
In other words they are as American as the whites and so the CBC reflects this. Just because American blacks suffered under the whites does not at all make them sympathetic to those non Africans who suffer even more so under white imperialism.
