So you have no response to the fact that slavery here in this country was not a form of institutional racism? Was or was slavery not a form of institutional racism?


(was)..do you understand the implication of this word?
I am pretty sure you don't.

How is stating slavery was a form of institutional racism a deflection. I asked did you agree with this or not? Why won't you answer the question?

There were as many races of slave owners in America as there were races in America at the time.

That is not how this works you want to provide proof that the vast majority of slaves in American were of African descent?

"exist"... does slavery exist....yes it does in Africa and Asia, not in the US.......exist implies the present .


Can you give me an example of institutional racism that "exists" today?

Racism was a historical abomination, an evil so large that it defies imagination.

Now proceed....

American is the least racist country in the world. You cannot provide an example of institutional racism so you tread back 150+ years to make your case?

This is exactly how this works. You're just terrible at having facts to back up your false claims. Look, it's okay to admit that you have no idea how to substantiate the lies that you've been fed your entire existence. Find evidence that institutionalized racism exists and appease those questioning you and your credibility. If you can't, then bow out like a man and go post on the soccer board.

There are far more cards stacked against your argument than for. Fact, slavery didn't start with Africans. Fact, Chinese held European slaves after conquests. Fact, Egyptians enslaved Hebrews. Fact, you're bad at this.

ETA: There is only one segment of society still bitching about institutional racism spewing from slavery, and ironically, that segment is still enslaved by their own free will.

How about in living memory, since his stated period was 1950.

And yes, I can provide one. Academic institutions denying places to Asians below the levels they earn and should have a merit right to.

Damn leftists!

How things work: You can't use something that hasn't existed for 150 years, as an excuse for today.

Do you use dinosaurs,as an excuse not to go outside?

Why are liberals always stuck in the past? Because their whining has no substance in the present.

Why don't you work on developing a sound argument as to why institutional racism does not exist?


How can you prove the non-existence of something?

You asserted something exists. We asked you to prove it. You then told us it is our burden to prove that your assertion doesn't exist.

That logic is literal insanity.

As to your point, institutional racism is illegal in this country thanks to amendments to the constitution and decisions by the Supreme Court.
