Those who wave the flag of poetic truth appear to be interested more in power rather than actually working on the former sex slaves' issues.

Hands up, don't shoot From Wikipedia,

 The slogan implies one has their hands in the air, a common sign of submission, and is therefore not a threat to an approaching police officer.

 Opinion: What Killed Michael Brown? A Controversial Movie About Truth and Lies

 Those who wave the flag of poetic truth appear to be interested more in power rather than actually working on the community’s social issues.

Why? Shelby Steele zeros in on that part of the solution often lacking among the media, elected officials and social commentators. Black individuals are robbed of agency, of being able to find solutions tailored to their situation, and instead forever dependent on whites to solve whatever problem for them. Shelby Steele sees liberals reliant on an ideology of white innocence (read: I’m not a racist, let me help), and requiring blacks to be blacks and not just human beings.

From Steele’s perspective, racism is not America’s original sin; it is used as a means to power. The original civil rights movement was one of good-faith, of wanting to become part of America; some of the current protests are a bad faith movement, wanting to destroy America, wanting to destroy the nuclear family, wanting to destroy capitalism.
