If you want to tackle economic inequality then you must address racism FIRST

[forjusticethunders]

16. For the short to intermediate term, you will need white votes to address income inequality

Measures to address this will, if properly and fairly applied, disproportionately help Black and Brown people, because they are poorer in many ways, largely due to racism. Thus, white racism (both overt white conservative racism and covert white "liberal" racism) will do two things to those measures


- Cause these measures to be rejected and voted down by white people (aka, what actually happened)
- Cause these measures to be watered down or unevenly applied to limit the disproportionate benefit these programs would present to a disproportionately economically insecure group.

Thus, systemic racism has to be addressed first to even make anti-inequality politically possible or executable.This is ONLY talking about economics, not social/legal/medical inequality that money can't really fix. This is where i say "you can give me a million dollars today and I might still get shot by a cop tomorrow"
