Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit; the loss of the empire of the United States; and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure.
Racism cannot be cured solely by attacking some of the results it produces, like discrimination in housing or in education.

Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.
We spend a lot of time training and retraining. It's heartbreaking because our education system has failed all of us.
