We will not have equal opportunity until we have equal outcomes.

The outcomes tell us we have a whole lot of work to do. If we don't care about outcomes, and the ongoing serious disproportionate limitations and impositions on blacks and other minorities including women, we are not the democratic society we profess to be.

Overt ugly racist acts are tragic. Covert subtle institutional racism of America is our ongoing, unending national shame.
