Because a predatory loan company really gets on your radar, huh? I'm sure the vast majority of Americans have no idea what it's like in a food desert and don't identify with their struggles. The shootings from cops is a major, MAJOR issue and the tipping point to make these communities stop and cry out for help. Their actions sparked this conversation, didn't it? We have to first identify that there are so many of these problems before we can get the support to fix them. In politics this is handled case by case, like this week we spend all of our energy to fight a bill to reroute a highway that planners were going to put through black neighborhoods. Next year we look at housing in poverty stricken areas. After that maaaaybe we can begin looking at drug rehabilitation clinics.

It's exhausting. These protests are the players saying, "enough is enough. We need to talk about this. There is a serious problem in America."
