RE: Hey Steemit, can Presidents really deal with racism? What could? [dTube]

in #news7 years ago

Our leaders only influence those who have no general direction or need a leader to follow. What leaders like trump however can do is give certain Ideologies a air of legitimacy. America did not turn racist over night it has always been racist. It starts with legal paperwork that categorises people by race (which not many other countries do btw. ) and ends with the more bold face organisations like the KKK.

Under Trump all these hidden racists, bigots and religious fanatics feel free to come from under their rocks into the light and carry their ignorance and small minds like a badge of honour. It is terrifying but it also shines a light to where we have gone wrong as a society. We cannot regulate or bury our issues under a mountain of political correctness we need to let it air out in the open.

Of course our government agencies need to be held to a neutral standard, but private businesses and organisations should be left to serve and allow admittance to whomever they like. Why ?-because the true unsubsidised free market will teach them a lesson when they lose business for being despicable human beings. Let them fly their freak flag high and allow me from banning them from my premises as well.

The second part of the equation is education and outreach create. For example youth programs that bring kids from all walks of life together.

Third we need to revamp our school system it can't be that there is such a discrepancy in the level of education an resources of our kids, those kids are our future it is time we step up to the plate because we cannot expect politicians to do it. If you haven't got the memo yet, there is no hero coming ! It is up to you , me and grassroots organisations to change the world our politicians are far to happy with the status quo!
