[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Removing Lee and Jackson’s names from roads and schools is the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit. All it does is make smug, self-righteous, and privileged white people feel good about themselves. Want to make real change? Reform the tax, housing, zoning, education, law enforcement, and transportation policies that continue to uphold systematic racism in 2023 and trap a growing underclass of mostly Black and brown people. [/quote] Why not both? If anything, the backlash from neo-Confederates against even the "lowest hanging fruit" should underscore how politically difficult it is to dismantle systemic racism and effect real change. Not that that's an excuse. But our public officials should keep pushing forward on all fronts; progress on one doesn't imply lack of effort on others.[/quote] Except we’re not really doing both.[/quote]
