If your point is that most progressive movements are going to start out as unpopular, I’d agree with you, but the idea I’m advancing is NOT that all unpopular movements are bad. I believe in fighting for justice, of course. But how you fight matters. You have to be strategic. If your goal is racial harmony and racial equality, then making people more conscious of their race the way we’ve started to do in the last decade or so is the exact opposite of what you should be trying to achieve, because it will result directly not only in black people being more conscious of their racial identification but also in white people being more conscious of their racial identification. Do we really want white people identifying strongly with their whiteness? Speaking for myself, I don’t want anyone identifying strongly with the color of their skin, because it leads to little more than superficial divisions that impede progress. Again, in the article of mine that I’d linked to, I cite actual statistics and social science in furtherance of this point, so that we don’t have to just speculate about it but can actually look at what the facts and data show.
