Fiinovation Contact : Stand in Solidarity with the Black Community & Against Racial Inequality

Most minority groups in the United States experience homelessness at higher rates than Whites, and therefore make up a disproportionate share of the homeless population. From slavery to segregation, African Americans have been systematically denied equal rights and opportunities. The effects of long-standing discrimination linger and perpetuate disparities in poverty, housing, criminal justice, and health care, among other areas. These disparities, in turn, can contribute to more African Americans experiencing homelessness. Blacks are sceptical that black people will ever have equal rights in this country. Most adults, regardless of race or ethnicity, say blacks are treated less fairly than whites in encounters with police and by the criminal justice system, but there’s less consensus about the treatment of blacks in other situations, such as when applying for a loan or mortgage or in stores or restaurants. In social science, racial inequality is typically defined as "imbalances in the distribution of power, economic resources, and opportunities. Racial inequalities have manifested in American society in ways ranging from racial disparities in wealth, poverty rates, housing patterns, educational opportunities, unemployment rates, and incarceration rates. More than four-in-ten say the country hasn’t made enough progress toward racial equality, and there is some scepticism, particularly among blacks, that black people will ever have equal rights with whites. Majorities of black and white adults say blacks are treated less fairly than whites in dealing with police and by the criminal justice system. Black and white adults have widely different perceptions of how blacks are treated in America, but majorities of both groups say blacks are treated less fairly than whites by the criminal justice system and in dealing with police.

About six-in-ten blacks or more – but fewer than half of whites – say blacks are treated less fairly than whites in hiring, pay and promotions; when applying for a loan or mortgage; in stores or restaurants; when voting in elections; and when seeking medical treatment.

In addition to experiencing disproportionately high levels of death from Covid-19, black Americans are continuing to deal with traumatizing acts of racism and injustice across the country. Black people have been fighting for decades to get justice from an unjust system and quite frankly, the emotional and mental toll is exhausting.

As we deal with ongoing acts of racism amid a global pandemic, conversations around allyship have come to the forefront as it will take people of all races and backgrounds to stand in support of marginalized groups who are continuously shortchanged by justice.

Understanding your privilege as a white person is critical to understanding how race and racism can impact the trajectory of one person's life. The real work of allyship comes in the form of educating yourself on the things you need to personally learn and unlearn in order to be a better advocate. During times like this when the news is filled with heavy headlines about black death, violence and protests, checking in with your black colleagues just to show that you care and are aware of what's going on can make a difference. Beyond addressing what's happening in the news, it's important that non-black colleagues and leaders are vocal when they witness instances of bias, racism and injustice in their immediate workplace and community.
