(1,151 posts)That would make a major dent at the very least wrt ending racism.
Like just off the top of my head -
Giving the right to vote back to felons the moment they complete their term/parole (and this would make every swing state lean Dem as a side effect assuming it's a Dem congress/administration that pushes it through)
Implementing a quota for interviews of non-white job applicants who are qualified
Implementing strict penalties for redlining and other exploitative practices aimed at AA homeowners/prospective homeowners
Removing suburban mortgage deductions to not incentivize white flight (the mortgage deduction is literally one of the biggest examples of welfare/free stuff in our society and it's primarily aimed at white middle to upper class families)
Banning payday lenders and replacing them with post office banks
Designating the KKK and similar groups as terrorist groups and aggressively investigating potential racial terrorism (imagine if DHS had dropped the hammer on Roof or the Bundy boys)
Removing 1A protections from hate speech (goes with above)
like this is just what I came up with in like, 10 minutes.
