On Civil Rights: Federal government helped create racial divide, must fix it

Warren described how governments and powerful corporations use racism and racial injustice as a wedge to divide working-class people. She argued that it was time for the nation's policies to include specific correctives to address discrimination. "Don't talk about race-neutral laws," she said. "The federal government helped create the racial divide in this country through decades of active, state-sponsored discrimination, and that means the federal government has a responsibility to fix it."
