The Role of Racism in American Politics

i'd love to walk through and question people and why ask them why they think this all happened you know their own opinion the way that racism functions to legitimate policies that harm working class people as a whole by sort of spectacularly harming black people. mass incarceration which justifies itself by disproportionately locking up so many black people but also locks up an extraordinary number of white people. welfare reform because welfare is was uh was disproportionately received by black mothers that allowed the quinted administration and congressional republicans to eliminate welfare for all mothers. disfranchisement in the south in the late 19th early 20th century ended up disfranchising large numbers of white people who were not fooled by it.
