Monopoly as a metaphor for racial inequity. “During the first half of the game, we said that Cas and I could buy property, but you could not, then halfway through the game, we say, ‘Now the rules are even. Now the rules are the same for everybody.’” https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexalisitza/viral-monopoly-inequality-analogy
