re: Someone give just one example of systemic racism, just one

Tearing down Americas History will change this.

Do you know any white people who committed a crime like a DUI, theft, taking pills, etc. and someone in their family made a call and it went away?

That.

So what if my city has a black mayor, black DA, black police chief and most of the ADAs are black?

You think no blacks are making phone calls to people of power?

You can't really use this in a vacuum because you can prove discrepancies for meth and heroin charges that make it look "oppressive" to white people

which oddly enough would mean Blacks are targeted for more searches/stop and frisk than whites because in regards to marijuana use the percentage is consistent across races.

You're still making a decent size leap to come to that conclusion.

Your link mentions governmental agencies, yet only lists private business, which are not systemic.

Business goes where they can make profits. They only see green. Business are under no obligation to have locations in black neighborhoods.

In the United States, redlining is the systematic denial of various services by federal government agencies, local governments as well as the private sector, to residents of specific neighborhoods or communities, either directly or through the selective raising of prices.[2][3] Neighborhoods with high proportion of minority residents are more likely to be redlined than other neighborhoods with similar household incomes, housing age and type, and other determinants of risk, but different racial composition.[4] While the best known examples of redlining have involved denial of financial services such as banking or insurance,[5] other services such as health care (see also Race and health) or even supermarkets[6] have been denied to residents. In the case of retail businesses like supermarkets, purposely locating stores impractically far away from targeted residents results in a redlining effect.[7] Reverse redlining occurs when a lender or insurer targets particular neighborhoods that are predominantly nonwhite, not to deny residents loans or insurance, but rather to charge them more than in a non-redlined neighborhood where there is more competition.[8][9]

How about the different punishment for basically the same drugs. Cocaine was predominantly used by whites while crack cocaine was predominantly used by African Americans.

---

1. 1986 ADAA was pushed by blacks in inner cities who didn't like seeing their people and communities being destroyed by the drug.

2. Crystal meth is a drug that similar to crack cocaine in terms of easy distribution and negative effect and it has historically been used predominately by white people. Both drugs are schedule II. Is this drug "racist", as well?

Why this definition?

Because if we take the REAL meanings of words as opposed to the goal-post-moving-feeeeelz versions that Leftists use, your bullzhit arguments fall apart.

While I agree the Dems are the worst thing going for blacks and have been for decades, is this systemic racism? Maybe I'm not understanding the concept of systemic racism, but to me disparate outcomes of a policy not crafted or applied on racist terms does not equal systemic racism.

By the 1960s, American society was riddled with generations of “white guilt.” In reaction and repentance sparked by Dr. King’s nonviolent civil disobedience and the systemic introspection of social norms by whites, Americans overcompensated with sweeping entitlement programs under President Johnson’s “War on Poverty,” and by turning a blind eye to accountability on longstanding values and principled behavior within the African American community. While affirmative action and desegregation jump-started social change, the unintended consequences of shifting the cultural incentives upside down were ignored.

This caused what Democrat Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan called “defining deviancy downward.” And with Civil Rights Act of 1964 giving legal credence to making any sort of behavioral judgment toxic, the cultural glue that held together the African-American family was fundamentally changed.

This destabilization has created turbulent neighborhoods that have devastating costs to children ranging from poverty, educational deficiencies, violence, crime, drugs, and a culture of victimization and entitlement.

Basic developmental psychology tells us that boys and girls growing up without fathers and stable homes are overwhelmingly more likely to lack self-discipline and personal responsibility than children growing up with married parents. The economic, emotional, and spiritual guidance that two parent families provide are the cornerstones of effective family institutions. Without that stability, institutional collapse is eminent.

Systemic racism was created by LBJ and other Democrats to destabilize black families.

Those policies are the number one factor in destroying black families, creating victim hood and inequality..to ignore that and continue on those policies (Democrat’s platform) is systemic

(Sayeth the lunatic Left.)
