>provide our citizens with a proper education and policies that create a steady stream of good paying jobs?

How does that address this? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-29/job-applicants-with-black-names-still-less-likely-to-get-the-interview
Other studies show when names on resumes and applications are made to sound 'whiter' by Black and Asian applicants, or vaguer/use initials to not give away that the applicant is a woman, their interview numbers go up.
There are other examples, but "good paying jobs" only work if you're able to get interviewed for and hired for them.
Discrimination is real. Systemic racism is real. Here's an idea: give a good education and good paying jobs AND tackle inherent biases and documented discrimination.
