Brain glitch, I knew what I was saying, but it didn't all get out.
In my experience - going back to memories of watching student protests in 1964/65 - there are feminist activists that are racists. There are also racial equality activists that aren't feminists.
There are some activists who have been able to work on multiple issues at the same time with an eye to a comprehensive outcome, but again, there are too many who pick an issue and that's their only bread and butter issue. All others must take second place to their opinions.

Moderates and liberals find that sort of attitude ridiculous when Right Wing conservatives are single issue voters or activists, but progressives and liberals can be amazingly blind of the "radical horseshoe" when it comes to single issue Leftist activists.
