Are they remotely open to the possibility that my view is worthy of consideration? it's pretty obvious just by looking at Drew Brees that the answer is unequivocally no

Honest and sincere question: are you interested in understanding the other side and alternative perspectives or do you think you already understand and thus are interested only in sharing your own thoughts?

Yes.

Are you open to the possibility that that line of thought is incorrect?

It's a talking point, to make me feel guilty of something. What do I win?

I understand that it doesn’t exist. So, yeah. I feel I have a pretty clear idea about what it is.

which system? the system that gives more free housing to blacks than any other group?
the system that gives more free food to blacks than any other group?
the system of minority scholarships?
the system of affirmative action?
the system that results in blacks having more govt jobs by percentage than any other race

They will say the evidence are the outcomes

This is all about equality of outcome. This will give them a never ending source of racism because the outcomes will never change.

It’s a back door to communism

AA is a good example of where philosophies differ.

Whites hate AA because it doesn’t guarantee an equality of opportunity. People of equal skill level aren’t treated equally and it has worked out to less skilled people of a preferred group getting the job.

Blacks hate AA because it doesn’t guarantee an equality of outcome. If blacks are 12% of the population, they should immediately have 12% of all the jobs in a field regardless of skill level or availability. Except in the NBA and NFL, where they have about 80% plus of the jobs on the field / court.

In 2020, Systemic racism = excuses for failure

That is exactly what I continue to teach my mixed race sons.

I'm as open to hearing and understanding them as they are to hearing and understanding my viewpoint.

I believe in the concepts of systemic bias and prejudice. Or systemic/generational disadvantage.

I don't agree with labeling these things "racism" because racism once had a definition and it required a very specific belief about inherent superiority/inferiority.

I do. I understand what systemic and institutionalized racism is. I’ve engrossed myself in the history of racism in this country. I consider myself an ally and believe back people have been oppressed and that there are many areas of our country that need reform in order to help make up for the plight of the black community.

Now go back and look at my post history to see how I feel about all of this rioting bullshite. This isn’t about helping black people. It’s about destroying law and order, usurping American ideals and principles, and diminishing the lives of white people.

The majority of the BLM movement and everything that’s going on right now is reflective of an Orwellian novel. It’s dangerous and the number of white people who are falling in line with it is downright scary.

Yes, and it does not exist in the USA.

The term means that the entire societal structure, at every level, in every locale, is racist.

This is not the case. Period.

Are there racists out there? Yes - OF ALL COLORS.

Are they the majority? NO

Are they a significant minority? NO

ergo, there is no systemic racism and I have no interest in listening to excuse-making victim pimps try to tell me otherwise.

I think there is systemic racism but the anger is directed at the incorrect source. The system which has been created by the democrats keeps the black people enslaved instead of empowered. The media and Hollywood has promoted the destruction of the family unit. The system (Democrats) have kept them poor, uneducated and dependent on the government. And they still vote for them and it keeps happening. Where is all of this happening? Democratic inner cities.

I understand the racist and thieving intentions of the disseminators of that term.

Isn't that enough?

They can’t use the word bigotry because then they’d have to look in the mirror.

Where did PT Karen go?

Just dropped this turd, didn’t clean up and ran?

I should add that if we have systemic racism at all in 2020, it's anti-white and specifically anti-white male

A black person can basically say anything no matter how vile and not worry very much about losing their career or be attacked by the media and the speech mob.

There is no such environment for a white male or white people in general.

Heck. They tell us they want to have a conversation and if we deviate from their point of view at all even that can end up ruining people

Why in the absolute frick would I care about what a liberal thinks at this point on the subject?

Try this test. Go into any public forum where there is discussion of interracial violence and point out that blacks are nine times more likely to kill a white person than the reverse

You might as well wear a hood with a swastika on your forehead because that's the reaction you're going to get

I don't think that they understand. If they did, they would start with the word "eugenics" and Margaret Sanger, who just so happens to be one of Hillary's idols, and go from there.



Perhaps, if they realized this, they would stop killing their opportunities to have more political clout. As it stands, they are a unified voting block for the party that keeps them in check.

Do you know how I know? Joe Biden. He has been in government for 40+ years. He played a major role in passing the 1994 "Super Predator" crime bill that has brought a greater sense of pressure on these issues. He goes on a radio show and questions their "blackness" if they don't vote for him. Yet the large majority will still vote because he has a D behind his name.

LBJ said that when he signed the Civil Rights law, of which was passed due to Republicans in Congress and not Dems, that he would have those N... voting Dem for 200 years.

So yeah, I see the systemic racism. They don't. They just keep voting for it. And the black people who do become wise to the evil that has been perpetrated on them and their families for generations are called Uncle Toms or worse. So. You tell me who the racists are and who really is keeping blacks down.
