Well, if you do that, then you risk dividing the talented tenth/proletarian vanguard from the progressive hoi poloi./masses. As an outside observor, I wonder if this would bring to the fore an issue little understood by non-Black Americans: skin color discrimination between lighter and darker skin Blacks--darker than a paper bag!
