5 types of violence waged against POC

[cyberswede]

We must pursue policies to transform this country into a nation that affirms the value of its people of color. That starts with addressing the five central types of violence waged against black, brown and indigenous Americans: physical, political, legal, economic and environmental.

There are a lot of specifics at the link (it's way too long to post), including bullet points with specific key actions we need to accomplish.

But this excerpt under the Economic Violence section is worth repeating:

But what King saw in 1968 — and what we all should recognize today — is that it is necessary to try to address the rampant economic inequality while also taking on the issue of societal racism. We must simultaneously address the structural and institutional racism which exists in this country, while at the same time we vigorously attack the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality which is making the very rich much richer while everyone else — especially those in our minority communities – are becoming poorer.

Clearly, contrary to claims that he thinks economic equality will "trickle down" to POC, Sanders has a broad approach to racial justice where he focuses on many aspects of the problem.

So, does he address issues on this topic adequately? Do his ideas go far enough? Are they step in the right direction? What else should he include?
