If I only had a brain

Let's play find the logical fallacy [hint in the post title]:

. . . economic inequality is not what is holding Americans back.
"The challenge isn't that some people are successful and some people aren't. Taking from the successful people to provide for those that aren't isn't the solution," Bush said after a closed meeting at the Metropolitan Republican Club on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

How to learn about the society you live in

As I was thinking about recommendations for #RecommendARadicalBook, I got to thinking that most of the things I've learned about how the world we live in actually works have been from people of color. The two books I thought of to recommend were Vine Deloria Jr.'s Custer Died for Your Sins and Franz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth, two good examples. Of course I've learned lots more from the people of color I've known in my life than I have from reading, especially about the everyday experience of living in our society. Anyway the though that all of this put in my head was this: if you want to learn about how our society works, you need to talk to people that it's not working for.
