I applaud the way in which they are able to create these impactful statements that require response..

But...

There need to be black think tanks. There is no concerted effort (that I know of) similar to ALEC or the RAND corporation where privately funded research is being done to vet all these ideas and construct actionable legislation that can be lobbyed or talking points to run with.

We seem to get the attention but the there REALLY needs to be there. It is the same with the reparations conversation. It has been talked about a bunch but where is the commissioned 18 month report on the outcomes of several different hypothesis on it?

I see a lot of good suggestions but none are solidly rooted in running any sort of analysis or models.
