Megan Phelps-Roper Derek Black George Wallce Via Shirley Chisholm https://www.persuasion.community/p/lessons-of-a-black-pioneer https://www.persuasion.community/p/lessons-of-a-black-pionee... You are basically saying there is no power in integration and that the only effort for reform here should be negative consequences which generally isn't viewed as a liberal perspective on how to reintegrate people into society.

> You are basically saying there is no power in integration and that the only effort for reform here should be negative consequences This an extremely uncharitable reading of my comments. I said a structural problem needs a structural solution, not a personal one. To invoke Chisholm as a counter-argument is offensive.

  Then you are easily offended. I think that what Chisholm did and what Davis did are in the same category. Personal outreach. You said Davis was the only example so I gave you others. I don't think racism is structural problem Its a personal problem solved by individuals. The legacy of racism and its former codification may be structural and addressed in a structural way but they are fundamental different.
