americans are unaware of the pogroms committed by the local authorities perpetuated upon the native americans during the late 19th & early 20th centuries; pogroms seems to get memory holed quickly whenever they're enacted.

Losurdo calls this period (From ww1 - ww2), the Second Thirty-Years War, because war and pogroms never really halted in eastern europe after ww1.

Capital has always been a tool of racism. From colonialism to the Tulsa Race Riots to the Holocaust to the modern pearl clutching at China's economic status. There is no racially just capitalism, it's a seed of racism planted into racist soil and watered with racism. It's not even covert either, capitalism emerged in the same time as race "science" and the justification for both are exactly as shoddy and presumptive of white superiority as you'd imagine. If you want the world to be racially just, capitalism has to go first and foremost before any other progress can be made.
