Now the country is heading into what will surely be one of the most consequential elections ever, with the Right gearing up to exploit racial fear-mongering to divide and distract, and the Left splintered over the next step forward. Some want to focus on racial justice head-on; others insist that a race-silent focus on class avoids alienating white voters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCan either approach--race-forward or colorblind--build the progressive supermajorities necessary to break political gridlock and fundamentally change the country's direction?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the past two years, Haney López has been collaborating with a research team of union activists, racial justice leaders, communications specialists, and pollsters.
