Instead the money should go to the poorer communities to help develop opportunities to grow in community development, creating much greater future financial capabilities rather than just grow in immediate finances.

We will never reach racial equality if we have laws like this.

The solution to past discrimination is not present discrimination.

Not receiving special treatment isn't "present discrimination"

 @B8PC6ZTRepublican  from California  corrected…3mos3MO

I think he's trying to say that minorities receiving special treatment is "present discrimination."

 @missMoshie from Iowa  commented…2yrs2Y

You're right, the solution to past discrimination is restitution and reparations. Affirmative action isn't discrimination, it's corrective action for the long term effect of putting Black Americans in a disadvantaged position for hundreds of years.

 @9F8P35C from Michigan  disagreed…3yrs3Y

At the end of the day everybody is a human and no reason for minorities to be treated harshly just for exsisting.

 @9TYJFHK from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

"Not having favorable treatment" isn't "being treated harshly", it's being treated the same as everyone else.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
