You’ll need to define systemic racism which you won’t.

Why do you think you're entitled to that from anyone?

Look it up, if you don't know. That's not anyone's problem but yours.

•The rot is everywhere, touching everything, a miasma of mandatory make-believe that has choked off the oxygen of rational inquiry.”
• "When everything is potentially offensive, all communication must be as indirect as possible, and the result is that clear communication using direct and precise language becomes impossible."
• "Academic discourse, characterized by impenetrable jargon at the best of times, has become a submarine mine field of accepted nomenclatures continuously evolving into deeply offensive expressions of various isms and phobias under the savage selective pressure of the rabid status games played by academics desperately scrambling after the small and shrinking number of jobs. Self-censorship, as everyone knows, has become pervasive - in an environment where yesterday's mandatory vocabulary is today's cancellable hate speech, the only safe expression is to say nothing."
• “Naturally the narrative is always false; it is precisely because it is false that it forbids even the discussion of alternatives, a taboo that expresses itself in the deplatforming or cancellation of deviants who dare "deny" the sacred narrative, or even to raise the most timid of questions about some minor aspect of it.”

I cannot even begin to expound upon this. It is perfectly stated and written.

I wish I knew how it could be dismantled, but my only solution is still a national divorce. Let that team woke themselves into oblivion and their system collapse beyond repair while they leave this team alone to prosper and continue to do the things that have historically been undeniably effective and successful.

Yes, I hear about it and it’s part of conversation fairly regularly.


With whom? Are you serious? You really talk about this stuff for funsies with your friends/family?

It doesn’t sound like you love DEI though?

Straight out of the prog handbook. “Whoa. You’re obsessed about the stuff we’re making you do.”

You've gone the same amount of time without answering my question.

I think if that's your definition of bitch... there's at least two in here.

EDIT: I take it back. You own this message board with your 100k posts. Carry on.

What you are seeing isn’t real. What you hear isn’t real. What they are doing isn’t real.

Don’t look at what we definitely not doing.

It’s all too funny.

Of course they do. Surely you must have family that everyone hates during the holidays because they don't have any social awareness.

This is what your obtuse family members are like in the wild.

Four posts.

From an article in the NEJM about structural racism in medicine.

quote:

There is no “official” definition of structural racism — or of the closely related concepts of systemic and institutional racism — although multiple definitions have been offered.


The vagueness of the definition is purposeful. As is your reticence to simply cite a definition.

You’re probably right. I end every conversation that veers into this territory irl.

Is this why you have over 100k posts on here? You must just enjoy counting. You're doing great so far!

I think you're mistaking it for your cherry-picked reply.

So the article was wrong? There aren’t multiple proposed definitions?

Were all the definitions you found too embarrassing to post?
