Equity policies and the alternative

Equity policies from the Biden administration and local state governments are discussed, with hits and misses acknowledged./nSome people on the left argue that more attention should be given to class in the equity discussion, rather than focusing solely on race and gender./nThis perspective of class denialism emphasizes the importance of considering the dynamics of American capitalism and inequalities produced through labor and market forces./nProfessor Adolf Reed, a political scientist, frequently speaks about the separation of descriptive identities from economic realities./nThe way forward involves implementing social and economic policies that address the specific needs of black people as workers, students, parents, taxpayers, and individuals in need of decent jobs, housing, and healthcare./nThe goal is not to homogenize black people under a singular racial classification, but to address their diverse needs.
