Turning to tribalism isn't a real answer. It's hiding behind a façade that even though I'm white because I'm a Democrat i'm not a racist and contributing to institutional racism. In the "intergeneration injustice" thread I started I responded to you with articles showing the racist history behind our current zoning and land use laws and you haven't responded.
That had/has major effects on where minorities were historically allowed to live, the wealth gap and the education gap. Yet look at the white people in the thread, both Democrats and Republicans, supporting it.
Check out this portion of the article below. Rana and Owlwoman are both liberals and parents. Do you think they didn't try and put their kids in the best schools? My guess is they did as would every parent. I know I will with my daughter. Yet that is institutional racism.
10 Signs Of Institutionalized Racism And The Rhetoric Of ‘Greatness’
For instance, folks tend to move to spaces where one might find great schools, great teachers, great neighborhoods and more without ever thinking about what “great” might mean. Ask a realtor what they mean by great schools. Ask different folks what “great” might mean or convey. Good test scores. Good grades. Blue ribbon schools. Where are the “great spaces” located, and who tends to teach, administrate and attend those “great or good” schools? Located in those good schools, one can assume would be good teachers. In fact, one of the leading criteria for assessing those “great schools” is whether a teacher has significant instructional experience. However, if one has had years of experience teaching in “good schools” and those schools tend not to be diverse, I would argue that an institutional racism problem may also reside in those “great schools.” In fact, institutionalized racism is the underbelly of the rhetoric of “greatness”. I mean, who tends to use that vernacular?
