When race is being used as a cudgel, be on high alert, or run.

No matter what the mission of the organization or movement is, or how virtuous someone presents themselves, do not trust them if they use race as persuasion.

If a solution to a problem is valid, good for all stakeholders, the facts will stand on their own. Everyone involved will be able to see how it helps them, regardless of their color.

People who seek undeserved power, and desire to gain at another’s expense, need the leverage of dividing people and prescribing decisions based on immutable characteristics.
