Sensitivity to racial tensions and white fears had always exerted a restraining influence on the ANC and had caused it throughout much of its history to project African aims in ways that would minimize white backlash. In their anxiety not to be guilty of racism in any form, Congress leaders had many times found themselves constrained by the tendency of whites to label any suggestion of an African takeover of power as “black racialism” or “apartheid in reverse”… To the young PAC militants, no such political taboos or considerations of white opinion seemed relevant… The PAC’s executive took no pains to avoid the question of how they wanted…political power distributed…Africans would rule (Karis & Gerhardt; 2013, pp. 121-22).
