Disagree somewhat. Race is our strongest assembler. We're fightin' racism.
But we do need more to unify around. Knowledge/history, what racism really is and what it's doin', and how to conquer it.
Basically, folks need to know Black is more than a skin color.
People's parts to be played are affected by a racist system. The system is designed to let only a few through, only to disguise the existence of racism, or serve the system in some way. If those that get through, if those with knowledge and charisma don't share and inform and plan, the parts most folks play will never be more than they are.
