Black nationalism not separatism

About half way through last week's column "Race nationalism serves no purpose," Michael Clarkson makes the very astute claim that racial "nationalism" creates racial "unity." This is probably accurate. However, I would like to help people make a distinction between two kinds of unity, so that they better understand why Black Nationalism is still very much necessary and a positive force in American politics.
