Systemic Privilege

Areas of Focus:

In many societies, quality healthcare is a right. In the United States, healthcare varies based on socioeconomic class and status. This disparity leads to significant differences in health outcomes, life expectancy, and overall well-being.

1. Healthcare: Access Denied

2. Business: The Capital Barrier

Entrepreneurship is often touted as a pathway to success, yet access to capital remains a significant hurdle for many. Systemic privilege ensures entrepreneurs from underprivileged backgrounds face uphill battles in securing funding and support.

3. Status Quo by Law

4. Housing: Home of Inequality

Legislation and policies protect existing wealth structures. Tax codes with loopholes benefit the affluent, allowing wealth to accumulate and concentrate. These systemic choices perpetuate economic disparities and hinder social mobility.

Access to safe and affordable housing is a cornerstone of stability. However, practices like redlining, discriminatory lending, and gentrification have systematically marginalized certain communities. This is a feature and not a bug.
