African American political traditions differ by how fully they accept America’s stated creed

Evidence

In this sense, the black liberal argument is, and always will be, an argument about America on the terms of its stated creed. The different forms of African American politics have been based on the degree to which one accepts the terms of that creed. Black nationalists reject the creed out of hand. Black socialists and Communists see it as a ruse to hide the horrors of racial capitalism. Black liberals, especially President Obama, accept the American Idea “straight, no chaser.” — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 420
