"Once we recognize that the problems are policies, we need to start asking: what new policies can eliminate this disparity?" — @DrIbrami at #Upswell2020
"Caste refers to holding people in a fixed place... caste is the policing of those boundaries... Caste is the bones underneath so much of what we're seeing, the infrastructure that holds each group in place." — @Isabelwilkerson at #Upswell2020
