So I was going to tweet about like "yay for more public options for services currently provided by corporations, but please make sure they're not racist" but then I countered to myself "but why should we assume corporations would be less racist than the government?"
I just think... in the United States, there’s always a meaningful chance of nominally universal social services benefitting whites first and everybody else second. That’s all. That’s not a reason not to do it, just a reason to be cautious.

I’m not just talking about postal banking, though. Whatever your cool innovative use of government is, there’s a certain kind of risk to entrusting something to the state that exists for black ppl that doesn’t exist for white folks, I think.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
