Racism is a choice of convenience

Racism is a choice by the privileged to maintain the interest of the privileged. There are some moral considerations so some give and take is allowed but the give is only not to tarnish an image and the take is always holding on to privilege and power - the absolute non-negotiables of racism.

Benefits of Racism

An important aspect in the racism conversation must be analyzing the benefits of racism. Racism must provide some tangible benefits to survive and even to thrive. There are economic benefits to racism. There are power benefits to implementing racist policies.

Leadership

Chicago youth asked what do you want to be when you finish high school, answered, "Alive."
Gandhi had it right when he told the Congress they were talking, talking, talking to each other while the poor were totally disregarded.
In Chicago and in Washington the talk is talking and talking while the youth are dying in Chicago, Detroit, Iraq, and Afganistan.
our leaders have more in common with leaders around the world than with Gandhi.
