I remember one analogy I used
to use in class I used to teach was
there's a connection between increases in violent crimes
and ice cream consumption.
Does that mean the more ice cream
you eat, the more violent you become? Right.
No. It means that both things are being driven by.
The hotter it is, the more likely
that things are about to pop off
and you more likely, you know, ice cream. Right.
So thinking about what are the things
that might be present in communities that also happen
to be more reflective of communities of color
that we really need to get at and address?
Because in doing that, we make Madison
truly that city that everyone desires to be living in.
