Systematic Racism

I think systemic is the term you are looking for but I can't help with defining it for you.

Feed them, give them money so that they become dependent on the government.

Do you realize why this is done? Can you imagine the surrounding areas of the hood if the money and food stopped flowing. God have mercy on the suburbs.

If you read critical race theory, it explains it in great detail. What is boils down to is that the greatness of America was built on the backs of slavery, colonization and genocide of indigenous peoples (People of Color). That our system of gov't was designed by whites for whites and that it inherently has biases towards whites. Therefore the white majority implements laws, sterotypes and other cultural controls to either gentrify black culture or suppress blacks.

If you read through the history of critical race theory and look at their evidence they have a good cause up until the civil rights movement of the 1960s. There was systemic racism built into the American system with things like Jim Crow laws, reading requirements, poll test. All things designed to keep minorities from gaining political power. Most of that disappeared with the Republican let civil rights acts in the 1960s. Since then, the cultural racism faced by minorities has decreased but has not disappeared.

A black couple slept in the White House for eight years. Did they get there because of racism?

Systematic racism is the idea that the system was at one time absolutely tilted against blacks through law enforcement, the court system, de jure segregation, education system, red-lining, etc, and now, even though de-jure segregation and red-lining are supposedly over, the effects of those old systems still oppress and hold blacks back. Some of it is bullshite, but some of it isn’t.

Often, this involves major “chicken or the egg” quandaries where any negative statistic outcome for blacks at a macro level is presumed to be the result of systemic racism. Are blacks committing more crimes or is our court system and law enforcement system harsher to African Americans, prosecuting them for crimes which they wouldn’t likely prosecute to the same extent against whites? Are the poor health outcomes of blacks a result of poor health behaviors in black culture or a medical system that exploits them? Are blacks failing the public school system or are the public school systems failing blacks? Are broken homes in the black community attributable to overpolicing and prohibition locking up black fathers?

While I would argue entitlements and the culture they influence are largely responsible for these issues in the black community, one can see how one conditioned and motivated to see race at the bottom of every issue can find race as the bottom of every issue.

I would add that systematic racism also includes “reverse racism” such as affirmative action/diversity hiring/college admissions and specific government programs that discriminate based on race in order to lift minorities out of poverty. On the flip side, adherents to critical race theory would argue that those are not examples of systemic racism but rather the kinds of corrective measures (that don’t go far enough) which should be used to right the wrongs of prior systemic racism.

Thus, when trying to correct systemic racism, solutions boil down to two theories of law and life: equality vs equity. Equality means that everyone is treated the same. Equity means everyone has the same outcome. Equality is free market capitalism with a government that protects individual liberties. Equity is communism where government intervenes to ensure everyone has the same outcome.

Those pushing for equity and critical race theory tend to be closeted or avowed communists who seek to use the power of the state to inflict retribution rather than free people to make their own prosperity.

Democratic Party owning +92% of the black vote...bc its in Black interest to vote democrat! “You ain’t Black”

No other race is owned controlled like that.

Even when polled on particular topics/subjects, black voters are split or lean majority conservative (1st & 2nd amendment, gay rights, capitalism, freedom of religion, taxes), very similar on polls before “the War on poverty” but come Election Day....

Larry Elder is the absolute best explaining this!

Can anyone enlighten me more on how black people in this country are a product of systemic racism?

They aren't.

Just like White/Latino/Asian people, they are their own worst enemies.

It's called being human I think.

I’ll start by saying that no matter the color of your skin we all experience confirmation bias and should check that as much as possible at the door in these discussions.

The best studies I’ve show that systemic racism does exist. Higher sentencing rates for blacks and Latinos for the same crimes (controlling for things like previous convictions, education, etc.). Higher rates of non-violent force in arrests for blacks. Etc.

To the extent the above facts are true they are aspects of our institutions that are horrendous and should not exist in a society that truly values justice.

You probably didn’t even realize it, but you started with the premise that blacks are already engaging in criminality. How about we discuss what happens before black Americans get to that point. What happens PRIOR to that? What has occurred that makes well- meaning people like you jump STRAIGHT to a discussion of arrest and conviction?
