"Socialism, Universalism and Anti-Anti-Racism"

3. Good article, but such a complex argument shouldn't be needed.

It's very simple. If a large group of your potential voters feel like your policies do nothing for them, you can't really expect their support. And the fact that racism blocks black Americans from reaping any benefits of economic policy improvements means policy proposals must be seen to address that basic fact first. And the candidate must be trusted by the black community to deliver - which is probably a harder lift than just scratching out some policies that sound good.
