is that despite any and all problems from income inequality, depending on where you live (urban vs rural), racism to some extent can be overcome. yes, racism exists. yes, blacks can get shot if they speed away from a cop who's at their car window, or heaven forbid even worse when they're doing everything the cop asks. (I have seen several cases of this).
I work with a few successful blacks as I've stated in several threads, so maybe I don't see racism the same way. however, looking at my successful black co-workers, i'm having trouble seeing where more legislation will help. the only thing that will help IMO is the paradigm shift that will occur naturally as some of these racist fuckers die off.
I've seen other threads with some posters claiming that social justice issues are priority one, and that economic issues need to be set on the back burner. I've also seen posts that imply that major economic progressive actions in the past (FDR's work programs) were fundamentally racist and that presumably, social issues must be tackled first, lest they be ignored. that idea is the only motivation for this post. if you have no disagreement, stop replying and the post will die. however, if you feel like the other posters that social issues are still that far out of wack, please reply with what you think a good start would be, in terms of any legislation.
maybe legislation is reaching too far. maybe the candidates themselves should simply mention it more. I don't know - i'm only asking. please note the only reason i'm asking is after seeing statements in other threads that economic measures shouldn't be undertaken because they will have a tendency to discriminate against POC.
