We don’t often post about national issues that don’t have a direct impact on District of Columbia residents, but this speech is too good to pass up. Senator Warren breaks down structural racism in a way that the Black Lives Matter Movement would like to hear from Bernie Sanders. As a progressive of color, I’m frustrated when white allies still think inequality is really just a class issue. Warren blows past that argument, reminding us that historical racism was as much about the denial of economic opportunities as it was about violence. She teaches history that we all should know but sure enough didn’t get in school. Enjoy and pass on.
