The ideology of racism and racial categories is just another means to obfuscate the working class into weaker units which will never approach the true goal of a united, egalitarian unit, opposed to oppression, and building a prosperous, progressive and egalitarian economy and society.
Racism is fed by a sense of inferiority to the power of a system of violence, perceived as the system of government, elites or the state.
Black consciousness was born inside division, rendering it necessary to use terms like black vs white, but it is at best erroneous and in reality disingenuous for an educated person or responsible leader, to embed these divisions into a political discourse as a means to rectify the damage done by inequality, injustice or economic problems.
Here is a series of interviews with Stephen Bantu Biko, slain African socialist and leader.
Biko was vehemently opposed by banning and eventually by being tortured to death while in detention. The leaders which the capitalist and elite nationalist hand-picked and imposed by a series of political changes, installed a dispensation based on division. One should remember that a rainbow, while a symbol of prosperity and positivity, is also a symbol comprising several colours. It implies division and it suggests that we proceed as different nations.
