I wouldn't disagree. I've read studies that indicate you are less likely to get a job if the application sent in has a foreign sounding name. Things like that can't really be changed just because you have a more sympathetic president, but they are real issues.
The problem is, Bernie is perhaps the type of president who would encourage already existing affirmative action. And I am totally against that on every level.
In regards to police brutality, I think it's harder to really judge. There's obviously a few ******* cops who kill people for various reasons in unnecessary circumstances. But it does make sense that black people would be disproportionately effected by police violence, because they are disproportionately criminal. The people committing the crimes, obviously, not black people as a race.
