There is systemic racism alive and well in America today. It's called Affirmative Action in hiring and college admissions.

I'd say the two biggest examples were the housing discrimination(redlining) and separate but equal school policies.

The housing pushed blacks into certain areas, segregating them from the rest of society. A lot of those areas are still majority black and ridden with poverty and crime.

The school policies created generations of uneducated and undereducated blacks. This prevented them from attaining better jobs, pushed them into poverty, and stymied the accumulation of wealth.

Redlining was based on something called 'logic.' Actuarial data proves that given equal incomes blacks default on loans at a much higher rate than whites.
It's the same thing as age discrimination with car insurance. The 16 year old driver is a higher risk than the 50 year old driver all other things being equal.

Ironically, if he taught a class called "Black Racism" or "The myth of white privilege" they probably would be.

Well to be honest yes, if accompanied with mass deportations of minorities. It’ll never happen though. Nor should it.

Thanks for providing.

I've always viewed this as a cultural issue within the black community rather than some sort of oppression or suppression by whites today. With laws against segregation and discrimination with home loans and such, blacks are able to live wherever they want if they meet the objective criteria that all people have to meet. If there are individual examples where blacks are being denied loans because of their skin color, I'd be as outraged as anyone, but at this point, the effects of past injustices and discriminations have to be self-imposed based on family or culture (or both).

There are still a lot of uneducated and undereducated whites and people of other races not directly impacted by "separate but equal" policies that ended decades ago. That is no excuse for today in terms of opportunities. We funnel a lot of government dollars into inner cities and poor areas governed by the bloodiest of bleeding heart liberals so you'd think after 50 or 60 years, they'd have gotten out of the cycle that is no longer imposed by the white man.

I don't think either of these issues are an evidence of America being a white supremacist society today. We've moved beyond race at this point and even the remnants of racism in individuals these days is not impactful enough to affect an entire people as we've got protections in place to counter such things. Opportunities exist for success in our society for all people if they can move beyond their self- and culturally-imposed barriers to make themselves better. Success is not guaranteed for anyone but all of the barriers of the past have been removed for anyone who wants to give it a try.

Only way to fix it is by really suppressing and oppressing the honkies, amirite?

Cause white crackers are racist cause they white. Not for anything they did or didn't do.

I just really feel that we would be a true peaceful, non-racist country, if all white people were in chains and were forced to be slaves for minorities.

shouldn't we have a society where everyone gets great rates until their first wreck???? We don't know what kind of driver someone is until they're on the road. Some 16 year olds don't wreck, and some 50 year olds wreck 3x a year

This will not happen.. The opposite is happening. Groups are backing away from each other and becoming more insular. We're having less and less in common and associate with each other less. We're separating into our own groups or tribes just like the indigenous native Americans did. We will associate with each other less and less and that's probably a good thing. We don't need to and will not "become one" to survive.

If you had to leave an expensive item with a stranger for a few minutes and you had the chance to pick a stranger from a crowd, would you do any profiling first or would you just pick someone at random and assume they are all trustworthy people?

It's probably 46 pages of people fed up with this bullshite telling him to go frick himself, and he's taking it as a death threat because he's a liberal and it would feed perfectly into the fake narrative he's trying to create.

All you need to do is look at the fake hoax website to see that white racism is fiction. But I'm sure it's all okay because "it starts a conversation."

It all depends on your definition of white supremacy.


If it means whites lawfully systematically subjugating and oppressing non-whites,

then no.

If it means you like safe neighborhoods, good schools, electricity, and sanitary sewers,

then yes.
