behavior does not go unpunished, public awareness campaigns, research and open discussions by our leadership on institutional racism, restoring & protecting the voters rights act.

These are just some of the ideas I have seen our candidates and others mention.

If the goal is to end structural racism we need to create solutions and act upon them.

Having a comprehensive policy that addressed the issues of racism would probably help to get people behind this goal. If one already exists and I have missed it I apologize and hope that someone will steer me to it.

It is known that Obama has tried to address institutional racism and he has met insane resistance at even mentioning it. So obviously speaking out and opposing structural racism in a productive manor will be very very hard. But it is vitally necessary to address this issue and find solutions ASAP..

I believe all DUers want to see an end to the racism that permeates our society and together we can make progress toward that goal.

Just some thoughts....
