I think the onus of white guilt that you carry around with you causes you to think that we must pour money into all the areas you cited previously. But simply throwing money at problems usually doesn't work, and especially when it involves just giving money away to people.
As usual the problem of working our way out of "structural racism" is complicated and will require work and education and hard choices. Slogans don't do much.
I have looked at different approaches to "solving" racism, some of which suggest it is a problem that won't go away for another 150 years until the population becomes more mixed?

It could cause some degree of cognitive dissonance as you have to factor in, to what degree "structural racism" may have played in such a situation.
There is a direct line between the effects to communities and families from structural racism.? No cognitive dissonance.? That doesn't mean I don't believe in personal responsibility.? It isn't an "either/or" debate.? That's what you don't choose to see.? You're taking the easy way out.?? ? --
