revolutionary socialist groups such as the Black Panthers - definitely. There's a good (and very long) article here that you may have already read - http://www.marxist.com/black-struggle-and-socialist-revolution.htm


This is my favorite quote from the article:

Malcolm X explained, “You cannot have capitalism without racism.” In other words, racial discrimination is a product and component part of capitalism, without which it could not exist. Therefore, the only way to lay the basis for ending racism and discrimination is by ending capitalism.
