About this last point, I want to add that even among the most committed social and political activists and laypeople, the idea persists that considering racial issues in any way dilutes a vaguely defined “supreme goal”. 
Kwa kuongezea wazo hilo la mwisho, ni kwamba hata miongoni mwa wanaharakati wa kisiasa na kijamii wenye msimamo na watu wa kawaida kwa namna fulani masuala ya ubaguzi wa rangi hufikiriwa kuwa yanafifilisha “lengo kuu”.
