That's what happens when a political programme chooses to "keep it real" by commencing with the deliberate abandonment of reality's nuances.
kateorman just linked to a an excrept from a book about how to deal with racism that flat out stated "No person of color can be a racist as long as white people maintain power." Not just nuance, but a whole chunk of huge simmering genuine issues with race, dismissed at a stroke, because it didn't fit the discourse.
The deliberate abandonment of nuance is the perfect phrase for the sort of thing that bugs the hell out of me about this sort of debate. I damn well care about nuance.
