6. I understand that

At the same time, I am aware of the fact that some people have never been included or have been left behind while a few have been afforded tremendous opportunity because the capitalism still revered was built on slavery as was permitted by the founding documents.
The virulent racism that bubbled to the surface had continued from those early days with the help of institutional racism that had been licensed by good white people who participated under more subtle policies and rhetoric. I would like to hear him call out the racist narrative of the mythical welfare queen, and discuss the origin of modern policing and prison labor.
White male supremacy thrived through Obama's presidency, as healthily as concentrated wealth. And the persistent disdain toward poor people, immigrants, and non-white citizens is not an coincidence. It is also no accident that states are passing legislation that will force white women to have more children.
It's easy to criticize the white supremacists in Charlottesville. It takes real courage to do the work to dismantle what keeps them conformable with their hate.
I don't see a promise to get along with their more gentle supporters in Congress as encouraging. There is still time and he has loyal support. I fear that most of it comes from people who don't see where we deserve better than what he has given in the past.
