re: Is Racism a Real Thing

The new and bastardized progressive definition of racism is absolute bullshite.
In their opinion the fact that black people are in prison at a higher rate has nothing to do with the propensity to commit crime, it has everything to do with "systematic racism" caused by whitey.
Yet even in Africa and South America, the dysfunction exists.
SO how do you square the circle that the vast majority of black people do no commit crimes, work every day and do what they can to provide for their families just like white folks do? If black folks have a propensity for committing crime because they are black how is it that the majority manage to fight off that instinct and get through life without doing so? The answer ain't skin color my friend, as much as you and yours would like it to be...

Racism ended over 30 years ago but billion-dollar industries don't decide the game is over and go home.

I believe there are few people that simply hate someone because of their skin color. Also, it's a complex issue. If I expect certain behavior's from a particular race due to experience... is that racist?
If I have been attacked by a pitt bull, am I wrong to be wary around other pitt bulls?
Even if you have not been attacked by a pit bull it is advisable to excercise caution when confronted by a pit bull based on their reputation...but going out of your way to avoid pit bulls and treating all dogs like pit bulls is exhausting and is a you problem...not a dog problem. Pit bulls reputation for violence is overblown in the same way one race's reputation for violence is overblown...being cautious is a survival tactic, suffering from irrational fears is a mental illness.

Theyre good people. Its that simple.
But overall black people are more violent than white or Asian. Deal with it.

Because of skin color or culture? Obviously it is not skin color, it is culture...and the culture is the culture of the United States of America in its entirety, not the culture of black America because black American culture and American culture or one and the same. The ills of society do not happen in a vaccuum. It'd be easy to fix if they did...but they do not. It is not a black or white or Asian issue it is an American issue and impacts all of us. It has NOTHING to do with skin color...it is US.

The most significant changes, therefore, were that black people represent an increasing share of violent crime victims, and white people a smaller share. It’s true that we’re dealing in relatively small percentages (less than 5%), but when you consider that the number of violent crimes has more than doubled, you realize that these increases are significant.
The true size of the problem is made starker when we consider that African Americans make up only 14.2% of the total population (including multiracial populations who identify as black “in combination” with another race), but 32.7% of all violent crime victims and 54.4% of homicide victims. Thus, these small percentages represent an enormous problem that, for black people, is getting worse, both in relative and absolute terms.
Who’s Doing It?
With race-essentialist rhetoric at a fever pitch bemoaning the omnipresence of white supremacy, some might be tempted to conclude that the relative decrease in white victims and the relative increase in black victims is attributable to a spike in racial hatred. That hypothesis would suggest that the relative number of white offenders is increasing, and the relative number of black offenders is remaining constant or decreasing.
In fact, the opposite is true. Again, after factoring out the cases in which the race of the perpetrator was unknown, the relative share of offenders by racial groups followed a similar trend to the share of victims.
From 2011 to 2020, the percentage of total violent offenders who were white fell 3.4% to 58%. With respect to homicide specifically, the percentage fell by 0.8% to 43.1%. By contrast, over the same period, the percentage of total violent offenders who were black rose 2.4% to 39.4%. And with respect to homicide, the percentage rose 0.3% to 54.7%.

Not at all....pitbulls do indeed attack people more than some breeds...but most pit bulls never do anything of the sort and are good dogs. The ones that do indeed attack people do not normally do so in a vacuum...there is usually some underlying input outside of breeding and genetics that drive them to act violently. It is not the breed it is the individual specimen which may or may not be more prone to violence depending on life experience of the individual. It has nothing to do with the breed or its color...

The answer is simple...the problem is the booger. The answer is that race has nothing to do with the propensity to commit violence...it is a host of issues, many of which the individual who is violent had no control over...like being an abused child, for instance. It is a societal problem linked to almost all aspects of the US...it is not a problem of skin color.

I lean this way, though the increased violence in every place they live tells me there might be more to it.
Africans who come here and accept our customs do well. Motivated people with a dream..

Not only is it dumb, it is in direct contrast with what black leaders say as well as groups like BLM.

The 30 something year old white guy larping as a black guy is telling the 50 year old black guy his personal experiences dealing with racism isn't valid because he didn't attach a faje news article with his post.

Well there you go...racism on full display. Yes, a logical person can surmise that racism is indeed real based on this post alone...
