The black Marxist thinker Adolph Reed put it this way:

If the only actionable injustice is discrimination, then there’s not really any basis anymore to talk about economic inequality as a problem. That happens as the society is becoming increasingly unequal in economic terms.

The tendency of cultural and social elites to apologize for our good fortune and anxiously affirm our moral credentials does nothing to bolster the less fortunate.
