Joe, How many straw men can dance on the head of a pin? Your definition of equity is wildly inaccurate. So is your rather sneering characterization of structural racism. That you define the national political "culture" debate without even *mentioning* women's reproductive rights, gun violence or rising right-wing authoritarianism & violence suggests you either slept through this last election, or woefully susceptible to the Murdoch Media's dictates as to what voters "should" believe is important. Please exercise some journalistic rigor!
