I feel like the left seriously damaged their ability to fight racist ideas when they abandoned the idea of equality.
Now, the left calls colorblindness and "all lives matter" racist. (Remember when Martin O'Malley was destroyed for saying that?) They create advantageous standards based on race, and even exclusive positions for non-white applicants. (For example, at the BBC.)
And I too doubt they would object to "dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of African descent in the United States, and around the world."
MLK's dream that one day people would not be judged by the color of their skin was abandoned by the left before the alt-right rose to power, and I believe that helped the alt-right rise to power.
