Quite a spectacle. He spent the last segment of his show going over all the evidence for systemic racism. Don Lemon came in at the end with some entertaining quotes below.

Cuomo's points -

- Trump has one black cabinet member.
- White people make more money on average than black people do.
- Black people are more likely to be unemployed and underemployed.
- Lending practices and redlining, black people are less likely to own a home.
- Tougher terms even when banks do lend them money.
- Highway system is designed to skip over black neighborhoods.
- Black people are less likely to own a car, so they're involved in public transportation, which doesn't receive a lot of funding.
- Non-white school districts receive $23 billion less in funding.
- Disciplining kids is different. White kid gets in a fight and he spends 5 minutes in the principal's office and leaves. Black kid more likely to be suspended.
- Black people have a 54% chance or greater of breathing in polluted air.
- Black people have more premature births.
- Black people have a lower life expectancy.
- Black people have more chronic health conditions (diabetes, hypertension, etc) due to differences in care.
- Gerrymandering
- Policing.
- Black people are more likely to get pulled over and searched while stopped.
- More black people in prisons.

Don Lemon said it's called "white mansplaining".

"The only people denying systemic racism are the relics".

Lemon on Trump - "I don't really care what he says about race because what he says is irrelevant".

"The factory reset in America is whiteness". He specified by saying everything revovles around white people and they are the "default" in America.

Of course black school districts get less funding. There are less majority black areas in this country. They are 14 percent of the population. Therefore pure numbers bear that they get less.

I bet if you look at the actual money per student, black school districts probably receive more. That’s purely a guess though.

Don’t have time to poke holes in the rest of his idiocy. That one just stood out as the easiest.

Edit : where is he getting the polluted air stat?
How is blacks having more medical issues and early deaths racist? You can give anyone constant medical checks but If they don’t live with personal responsibility and eat themselves to three hundred pounds, then oh well. That problem effects everyone in this country regardless of race.

This is too easy.

Not an example of racism. Asians, indians, and african immigrants earn more than whites.

Not an example of racism. From 1880-1950s, black UE was lower than whites,

quote:

- Lending practices and redlining, black people are less likely to own a home.
Black people have lower incomes, so this isn't racism.



On and on and on.

He is commiting the fallacy all liberals do. He thinks ANY disparity between groups is due to racism and discrimination, rather than decision making.

Whole lots of those points do seem like the lack of personal responsibility if you ask me

Obviously America is miserable for black people. We have failed.

Time for separate countries for everyone. Diversity hurts people SOOOO much. Let's end it.

If he wasn’t employed by CNN Chris would just be getting sent off to do this or take care of that. Maybe take care of some little unimportant night club here or there or pick someone up from the airport.

My first reply to him is that I’d need to evidence and analysis of each of those statements. I’d likely get poorly researched articles.

It crazy listening to all these rich SJW’s virtue signal while they get paid handsomely to do it. And very few of them take any action to rectify the wrongs they allege are oppressing black Americans. I don’t think this country is going to survive the mass level of mental illness Trump’s exposed.

So any disparity automatically = racism.

Yep, nothing new.

But no one explains why Asians do better than anyone in every one of those categories in the systemic white racist system.

Literally 2 fricking days ago:
Air Force general confirmed as first black chief of a U.S. military service

This is why you can't take these people seriously.

The amount of energy it must take to ignore things that don't fit their narrative must be exhausting.

You can replace every instance of "white" in this with "Asian" and it's not only every bit as true, the disparity is MORE lopsided.

Insanity.

Chris Cuomo is a roided up retard. He actually thinks "I am a CNN anchor' is some kind of badge of honor. He is a moron.

Because Asians didn't pick cotton in the 1700's dummy!
