For much of the 1990s and early 2000s, elected leaders on both sides of the aisle argued that making our systems"colorblind" was the best way to address racism in America. We could achieve economic equality between the races, the argument went, if our institutions simply removed race as a factor from the decision-making process.," which privileges white economic and political power over nonwhites.
But just as 40 years of trickle-down economics, with its defunding of systemic investments into the middle and bottom thirds of the economy, has resulted in huge and growing income inequality, racial liberalism's preference for economic colorblindness has only exacerbated pre-existing wealth disparity between races.argues that we need a new way forward to address economic injustice along racial lines.
Strickland said a new consensus is forming around the idea that"the colorblind approach to our politics and our policymaking not only does not work, but it actually continues to perpetuate the injustices that we see."" to people of color isn't enough."Access and opportunity alone is not sufficient" to fully address America's long history of racism, Strickland said.
"The right wing has been trying to take any sort of policy that could represent a movement toward progress and weaponize it against racial justice and for racial backlash. This has been something that they have always done and will continue to do," Strickland said. He added"They're ushering in a politics of white grievance to push back on anything doing with racial justice. This has been a tried and true method that they continue to do," Strickland said.

paulconstant The goal should be for all American adults to have similar wealth. Not for racial comparisons to change in a society with billionaires and homeless people.
