    What increasingly becomes clear in both the rhetoric and conceptual framing of recent activism around race is that the goal is to revoke and replace the race neutrality written into the Civil Rights Act of 1964

        The African National Congress’s official “non racialism” policy embedded into RSA’s constitution is the model we need to be looking more and more closely at. And the Freedom Charter

        What’s the gist there and how does it differ from the CRA?

        The problem is the race neutrality was never really enforced.... because neutrality threatened the power structures.

        (guessing)it's kind of... framing the fight in the Culture War as a fight for Equality vs, say, reparations or affirmative action? the fact is a lot of people are Attacked in some way for their identity / race, so this is a rallying point, but also it's disingenuous to equate it
