(4,713 posts)can be higher up on the economic class structure & still constantly face social justice issues constantly. This is why there is constantly a disconnect between white people & POC when it comes to issues of social justice. No matter what neighborhood I leave in the morning or the type of car my son's are driving whether it's a truck or a benz they're still black & if they're driving a benz they aren't given the benefit of the doubt of just having money they a profiled as being drug dealers.
So, no once again I will tell you that the two issues are very much separate issues because social justice issues effect POC regardless of economic status. This is the problem. I'm all for pumping more money into our urban neighborhoods but one will not solve the other, period.
