America still refuses to answer for its racist past as well as the present. We need to replace the system of white supremacy with a system of justice and it starts with giving African Americans an economic handup to help us catch up with the rest of the country. A system of justice that doesn't unfairly target African Americans for mass incarceration, unemployment, discriminatory lending, hiring and economic practices.
