(13,966 posts)how are women and minorities going to maintain their safety? I do not mean to be rude, but are you trying to sell the idea that minorities, including and especially women, are going to be safe without the money to hire a doctor, pay rent, and find/keep a job?
It is not just about the wallet, but without the wallet, there is NO civil right that cannot be taken away or undermined but those who DO have the wallet.
side note: I do see past the security of my own skin, I see women and my fellow minorities (latinx here) get run over by those who do have the wallet. Yes, we do need hard, solid, civil rights laws to be on the books and stay on the books, including, but far from limited to, voting rights, employment rights. However, I you want to claim to represent people, you cannot go ahead and say "well I put civil rights laws on the books, my job is done" and then wonder why people are mad at you as you ignore the machinery bought and paid for by7 the same people who will come after you too. THAT is a fact.
