We challenge McGhee’s argument that multiracial coalitions can effectively address global warming, showing that the history of political advocacy complicates this view. Her analysis risks justifying the exploitation of Africa in pursuit of the green revolution, thereby expanding American economic and political imperialism. Additionally, centering positive-sum frames can pathologize Black freedom fighters who demand a zero-sum trade-off between white and Black power. We counter the myth of political ineffectiveness of these approaches by highlighting the example of Robert Williams.
