We the people ... an informed response

As many readers of The Spectrum have noticed, there have been recent
measures taken to humiliate the Black Student Union (BSU), the Lesbian
Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance (LGBTA), and those who sympathize
with the causes of these groups.
Every person in America has witnessed instances of racism. If you are
willing to examine examples of institutionalized racism, look no
further than to the impoverished communities scattered across our
country, or to the faces of the people being held in prison cells, or
to the racial statistics addressing obesity, hypertension, sickle cell
anemia, and diabetes, and ask the question, "Why has so little
progress been made in the name of suffering people?"
