US Senator Elizabeth Warren has warned that racism and racial tensions impede economic progress as they block a fairer system all workers benefit from.
Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, made the remarks at Martin Luther King's church on the 54th anniversary of his most famous "I have a dream" speech, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.
“So long as we stay divided, this economy will continue to work for the thin slice at the top,” Warren said, asserting that the only way to eradicate hate is to see "something holy in every single person."
During a question and answer session conducted by Bernice King, the slain civil rights leader's youngest child, at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Warren denounced the widening income gaps that badly affect nonwhite workers.
During the session, King mentioned commands from Jesus that say one must "do good to those who hate you," with Warrant adding, this does not mean people let each other spew words of hate without taking a stance.
"It's not a scripture that says just lay back and let hate roll on through," said Warrant, who is seen as the liberal icon and potential 2020 presidential candidate.
"It's a scripture that says act, ... raise your voice, not in anger, but make your voice heard for what is right and what is holy."
Her remarks come after a recent protest in Charlottesville, Va. turned deadly and how US President Donald Trump responded to that.
On August 12, thousands of white supremacists, KKK members and neo-Nazis descended on Charlottesville for a “Unite the Right” rally. The march turned violent after a 20-year-old man plowed his vehicle into a group of counter-demonstrators protesting against racism, killing a woman and injuring 20 others.
A 20-year-old Nazi sympathizer, identified as James Alex Fields Jr, was said to have been behind the wheel.
Trump has been under fire for his failure to immediately condemn the tragedy and blaming both sides for the clashes that took place.
The Republican president has faced a raft of resignations from his advisory councils and talks about resignation of other White House officials.
