EXODUS II: LA 2028 presents the GOLDEN opportunity whereby the gifts, talents, and skill sets and the inherit privileges status of every non-black citizens, primarily young, white citizens seeking to heal the pain of the descendants of chattel slaves, upon whose \u201cbacks\u201d this much beloved, nation of willing immigrants is built.<\/p>\n

It is an incriminating fact, that though being a mere 11% of the national population, black citizens are overwhelmingly the disproportion in numbers and complexities in homelessness culture, being over 60% of the population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe racial inequities we see in homelessness didn\u2019t happen overnight. They are the result of past and present laws and policies that have made it harder for some to rent or own a home. People of color, especially Black and Native people, are dramatically more likely<\/a> than their white counterparts to experience homelessness\u2014even when controlling for poverty. This doesn\u2019t mean no white people experience homelessness or that structural racism is the only factor driving homelessness. But it does mean that homelessness is not colorblind, and unless we are willing to acknowledge the facts, engage in courageous conversations about race and racism, and work together to create equitable solutions, we will never end homelessness.\u201d

\u201cWhat we do not say often enough or loudly enough is that racism and homelessness are inextricably linked. Yes, racism. It is time to speak truth.
\nIt is time to call it what it is.\u201d ~ Jeff Olivet<\/p>\n
