Cross Post from GDP: What issues, specifically, would end racism in the US?

[Kind of Blue]

15. I don't think Bernie nor Hillary need to do more policy-wise

because there is a lot of governmental anti-racist policies: Civil Rights Acts of 1866, Fourteenth Amendment, Voting Rights Act of 1965 Civil Rights Acts of 1968, Civil Rights Acts of 1991, Fair Employment Act of 1941.

And they are already old policies, so it's not addition of more but vigorously enacting what's already there. The question is tiresome because we know what to do. It's the willingness to do it that's the problem to me.

I like the way Jane Elliot deals with this tiresome question, "I want every white person in this room, who would be happy to be treated as this society in general treats our citizens, our black citizens. If you as a white person would be happy to receive the same treatment that our black citizens do in this society - please stand! - You didn't understand the directions. If you white folks want to be treated the way blacks are in this society - stand! - Nobody is standing here. That says very plainly that you know what's happening. You know you don't want it for you. I want to know why you are so willing to accept it or to allow it to happen for others."
