Disproportionate power, reach and scale may suggest one is more important to address than the other. Both / all to be opposed, but one stands out and takes precedent.
Bud when democracy fails.. people prefer fascism.
I’d be willing to bet you’d claim you’ve never ever heard the expression “redlining” before I wrote it in this sentence and just cannot fathom such a thing….so may I present an apology from the National Association of Realtors for their part in establishing those racially segregated neighborhoods….
That's pretty simple math. Whites are for the time being, the largest portion of the population, so it stands to reason that they will have the most racists. They also have a longer more entrenched history of racism, they've had a lot more practice. At least here in the US.
Conservatives like to keep their thinking simple and not get off into the weeds of grays between black and white. The question you are not considering is that by assuming unconsciously that choice is a good thing, that the choices people make are motivated by rational thinking. In fact there are deeper psychological reasons, in my opinion, as to why people tend to segregate like birds of a feather and they are only rational because what they are based on is realistic fears. You may have noticed historical evidence of what happens to black people who get an idea they would like to live with white people. It does not go well for many and the news gets around. Nobody who feels superior about themselves because they are so hollow inwardly that they need to boost their ego via some imaginary superiority of skin color wants to lose that crumb they have. That means on average racists will denigrate whites who are happy to integrate and black people who try to. The result over time is neighborhoods divided by color. If it were based of who has big or small feet it would turn out the same.
Democracy isn't failing us. We're failing democracy. 74 million people voted for no student loan forgiveness. 74 million people voted for no expansion of Medicare. 74 million people voted against tuition-free colleges. Another 130 million people didn't think any of those things were worth voting for. Stop blaming Democrats who have not been given the power to change things and put the blame where it belongs: on our voters.
Simple math? I bet the percentage of racist white people Democrat vs Republican is night vs day. Not all Republicans are racist but if you find a racist your numbers say they are highly likely Republican.
Not a deal-breaker though. JFC.
I wasn't commenting on the political affiliation of racists, only on their numbers.
wtf kind of bullshit statement is this? People accidentally solve problems every day. The idea that you have to 100% understand an issue before you can move to correct it is horse shit, and the backbone of conservative policy. "Can't do anything if there is even a remote chance of a slightly bad side effect!" Fuck that. Change it. If shit goes sideways, change it back or modify. Oh but I'm on ignore so you get to remain ignorant. My loss I guess? Lol

For those who kept denying, this is an admission of SYSTEMIC racism. Although I'm sure you deniers will keep denyingI’d be willing to bet you’d claim you’ve never ever heard the expression “redlining” before I wrote it in this sentence and just cannot fathom such a thing….so may I present an apology from the National Association of Realtors for their part in establishing those racially segregated neighborhoods….
