We can't provide "advantages" to everyone. We can provide opportunities (maybe that's what you mean) by investing in education from an early age, including services related to education like nurseries and extended hours.

Then, people take the opportunity, or their don't.

Race should not be relevant. My problem with current climate is that it perpetuates race as something to notice and to treat specifically when we should aim for the opposite.

The current climate perpetuates race as something to notice? I'm sorry but was the previous climate different?

This is key. If we could wipe the slate clean and provide equal opportunity, then we would have a strong blueprint to do so.

But we are fighting close to 400 years of systematic oppression to turn those opportunities into tangible results. That history requires some type of direct action to advance the current state of Black Americans.
