Agree that wounds need time and care to heal. Are you suggesting reparations? I’ve seen articles where they have taken land from black people decades ago and are trying to do reparations for that now. I’m not sure how we could do that large scale though. Black people have been denied much opportunity for buying homes over the last few generations all over the US. I don’t see how we could politically get it passed to give them better mortgage rates or anything though. Tax breaks maybe?
Accounts that are deposited into for children to be released to the individual at the time they turn 18 or start college, whichever comes first.
How we determine the amount will be a sliding scale with those from the poorest families getting the most and those in an overly wealthy family will get nothing or almost nothing.
Racism in this country has almost solidly placed non-white people at the bottom of the economic ladder and this would not only help those at the bottom who are non-white, but those who are white too. Lifting from the bottom.
Exactly what I’m saying too. Overall Democrats are better than Republicans, but they are both equally guilty of perpetuating racism
Serious question, do you not know what the word “equally” means?
Equally guilty of perpetuating, disproportionately guilty of worsening (Republicans more guilty by a landslide of worsening)
If you pull the knife out two inches, it’s not better.
If it’s fully removed it’s not better.
Action needs to be taken to heal it and prevent it ever happening again.
Republicans bury the knife
Democrats remove the knife
Neither has done enough to stop the knife from being in the fucking room

I’d love to see some good thoughts on this.

At least that’s if capitalism has to be involved
This should outline things more clearly than I can Science Vs link
