Barack had his faults, but this dude could barely get congress to get folks to pay for health care, let alone any meaningful legislation for racial disparities.


Barak was not superman, but he was the first dude in a supreme position of power who spoke about these things, just the notion of that creates change, slow, change yes, but change nonetheless.

You really think Barack would have beat Romney talking that stuff? he barley got out of that election.

Change is when you push a sustained message that outlasts a candidate. The best example we have is climate change, the Republicans have completely shut up about it, especially given the evidence over time. Sure, you MIGHT try to do something like reparations in a fast-track mode while you have power, but you tank the larger message for a small gain. that probably wont last longer than: a candidate.
