re: Do you believe you understand what systemic racism is?

this is true
it's like policing. a major societal issue that isn't really racist, but since minorities are in the most affected tier, it's become a racist-only issue
it's why we're never going to really have any real change b/c the lines are too drawn

Blacks have been a vulnerable group forever and have been the easiest to target.
Also, in a previous post, you accused “the government” of introducing crack cocaine into black neighborhoods in order to control the black population and create the opportunity for mass incarceration of black males. To which “government” entities do you ascribe this deliberate act of destruction, specifically?

you THINK because you haven't done any research. America has one of the highest rates of upward mobility in the world. The son of an immigrant just put two men in space with his private company.
it's much easier to blame someone else than to research and address the self inflicted problems

You, first post:

Are you open to possibility that you don’t understand everything about BLM and systemic racism?
Are we supposed to be discussing what BLM thinks about systemic racism or not?

you think education is important? i bet you also understand that home life impacts differing outcomes greatly in education. how much help do you think a kid can get at home by a parent who may have a legit 7th-8th grade education?
repeat this same issue with most variables that lead to individual success. pathologies create pathologies.
now you want to say that we need to discuss/criticize those parents? fine with me (but not with SJWs), but that goes beyond the individual
Remember as a kid when you went to the go cart track at the beach. If you hit the wall it jarred you and stopped the cart from moving forward towards the finish line. If barriers were removed, there would be no incentive to stay on the track. Youd just drive around aimlessly and dangerously with no intention of ever reaching the finish line.

That was 70 years ago. There has been tremendous progress since then and I dare say that it is only a small minority that is racist to any degree. A minority that is quickly dying out.
That may have been true a few weeks ago but the riots have stirred the fires and the leftists and MSM have poured on as much fuel as they could. It is their goal to continue to destroy our society and re-make us as part of the one world society cesspool.

Who played a big part in that?? Hmm..
And yet they will still vote his racist arse in.

Well let me tell you it wasnt a bunch of rich families at these places lol. This was PCB at Miracle Strip not Hilton Head
Ragardless, point still stands. Having a child out of wedlock should be a barrier that hurts when you hit it. Everyone around should see you hit that wall and say "eww ouch, im not making that mistake"

That's what drives me nuts about these loons. People talk about the "black experience" or "white privilege" as if you can look at an average upbringing and apply it to people. We're a bunch of individuals, not an average.

Sorry to inform you but it's a hoax.
Look at the data.
There are bad people and there will always be bad people.

This describes Adam Carolla. He couldnt read when he graduated HS. His parents were deadbeats on welfare. He floundered around living in overcrowded apartments and working really shitty backbreaking jobs till he finally made it.
Heres a problem...a lot of these jobs he did early on: carpet cleaning, ditch digging and construction are now the domain of illegals. For a young black man who cant read or maybe has had a criminal record, he cant get these jobs like he used to in order to get things going. The road out of poverty isnt always college. Some kids arent smart or academically inclined enough to do that.
Ill never take people like 4cubbies seriously because they refuse to reconsider their stances on welfare and illegal immigration as a means to improve the black community.

"Systematic Racism" is one and the same with 'Systematic Classism'; both rooted in Marxist (Egalitarian) Ideology. The Marxists use Race and Class ENVY to divide and conquer; and it generally works on "dupes and useful idiots" and much of the (Idealist) Intelligensia. Once Marxist take over...the simple folk have ZERO voice in their life; why should they...they are too ignorant to know how they should live. The last part is mostly true.
BLM wants payback for slavery, and equal income...regardless of one's personal efforts, talents or productive creativity. BLM...sucks. Would never talk with that bunch; because like Thomas Sowell says..."talk only drives people with polar First Principles...further apart". Their way or the highway. They DESPISE the Constitution, America, Freedom...and as the eloquent Obama said...desire to "fundamentally change this Nation". They will have to win a bloody revolution to make that happen. They will lose. Bigly.

I’ve always thought laws were made for the lawyers, then they were made by the bankers and then they were made to be fair.
But you know the lawyers, lobbyists, bankers and insurance companies get theirs and then we get the leftovers.
Right now the Dems are buying the black vote, and they take that for granted. I’ve always thought that if they were more independent thinking blacks we’d be much better off as a society.
