Oct. 13: Intersociety Meeting (ISM)

BIHR: Race has a greater influence on American social policy than class

Race: Non-genetic, self identified group that shares a common culture. This can contain but is not limited to skin color, origin of birth, and/or religion.

Influence: causing greater divide between both legislators and citizens.

American social policy: Those laws, taxes, and expenditures enacted by the United States Congress.

Class: (Addressing Bro. Carmon’s confusion) A self identified group that is created based on relative wealth in the United States and named in accordance with their placement in the spectrum of relative wealth. Example: Extreme Poor, Poor, Middle Class, Rich, Super Rich. It is based on self identification and relative wealth as there is little consensus on what is truly poor, middle class or rich and social policy follows the people’s ideas of wealth, not a textbook or the UN.



Presented by Bro. Howard
