.@DFAaction CEO @ysimpsonpower on the road ahead with President-elect @JoeBiden : "Unity is great, but freedom is better... Yes, we want to have compromise. Yes, we want bipartisanship. But... I want the kind of unity that leads to change for people who have waited for it."

Policymakers avoid real conversation about wealth because it would force them to discuss how racism was baked in to the growth model, benefiting white people.

Cannot be shared enough. Policies based on myths and not the reality of the racial wealth chasm are commonplace. The myths are believed because they don't force us to drill down on root inequities. You just get half solutions that way.
“Reality check: The wealth gap—which could more accurately be described as a wealth chasm because of just how large it is—would not be closed by Black Americans doing any of the things that have been proposed, or all of them.”

1) I have seen several people that I have great respect for say that racism underlies a newly circulating poll that shows support for BLM but substantially fewer people supporting the demand to “defund the police”. Of course, it’s the US and racism underlies most things

Great insights by @kirkpepm during @SOCAPmarkets panel on dismantling racist systems. We need to change “perception of risk vs. reality” of investing in community-based economic development. Investors also need to put in work on the ground...I’ll be looking out for the recording!
