Post Hmmm

This is food for thought, but I just don't see much of it becoming reality.

Much of it is borderline communism/socialism. I'm not sure that anything that smacks of collectivism can become a reality. For instance, there is too much money in healthcare for the system to be dismantled and replaced by single-payer. And we know that $$$ talks, and BS walks.

Also, blacks are affected by racism, IMO, at different levels. My situation is different than someone who hasn't had the benefit of a college education or increased opportunities.

Some years ago, I was reading a column from William Raspberry of the Washington Post and he compared racism's impact on black people like the rain. He said that the black middle class, as it were, had "coats" and "boots" for protection.
