It’s trendy among certain activist cultures to dismiss (black) liberalism, but then you gotta listen to, e.g., “Black Man” or “Saturn” by Stevie Wonder and you hear how potent black liberalism is as an intellectual tradition and spiritual practice.
Building a compelling ideological alternative to that, and planting it like seeds all over the country, and letting it grow into a set of beliefs and cultural practices is a long and difficult work and I think too many disappointed-by-Obama radicals underestimate that.
