Bernie Sanders, Black Lives Matter, concentrated poverty ... and New Albany?

No pulls, and as little verbiage as possible.

What do I propose to do?

Listen.

Three places to start reading ...

America's Biggest Problem Is Concentrated Poverty, Not Inequality ... Addressing income inequality is important, but worsening economic segregation has far more compounding effects, by Richard Florida (City Lab)

Black Lives Matter vs. Bernie Sanders, explained, by Dara Lind (Vox)

Bernie Sanders on Racial Justice (campaign web site)

NA Confidential's mask-free policy on reader comments.

NA Confidential believes in a higher bar than is customary in the blogosphere, and follows a disclosure policy with respect to reader comments.

First, you must be registered with blogger.com according to the procedures specified. This is required not as a means of directing traffic to blogger.com, but to reduce the lamentable instances of flaming and personal attacks on the part of the anonymous.

Second, although pen names are perfectly acceptable, senior editor Roger A. Baylor must be informed of your identity, and according to your preference, it will be kept confidential.

To reiterate, I insist upon this solely to lessen the frequency of malicious anonymity, which unfortunately plagues certain other blogs hereabouts.

You may e-mail Roger at the address given within his profile and explain who you are. Failure to comply means that your comments probably will be deleted -- although the final decision remains ours.

Thanks for reading, and please consider becoming a part of the community here, one that is respectful of the prerequisites of civilized discourse, and that seeks to engage visitors in substantive dialogue.
