"#ColorblindRacism is a characteristic of many of the most damaging rollback of civil rights law. By co-opting civil rights language, reactionaries attempted to seize the moral high grant while undermining affirmative action, voting rights, equal employment opportunities, and school desegregation"

Remember that #MalcolmX quote from above?
