To understand the real cost of racism to all of us read Heather McGhee’s recently published book “The Sum of Us.” Not only is it in health issues that racism affects all of us but in education, housing, labor laws and low wages and voting rights. Any law passed that makes it more difficult for working people of color to vote or access health care also affects working white people. And in simple numbers there ends up being more white people being adversely affected than blacks. Go figure.
