I’m seeing these terms more and more, even around here

Stop Normalizing this nonsense

If you believe these mythical ideas exist tell me what they mean.
Tell me how we can measure them.
Tell me how we know when they no longer exist.
Tell me how other minorities can be a part of this system that is racist.

It’s the same bullshite as the gender issue. People just invent new words and they think that is proof of their existence.

It’s the boogey man of racism.

When you show them racism is at an all time low; they resort to the invisible racism.

As long as people are different there will be differences.

I suppose a mulatto world would be the only way. I'd rather a world with differences.

If you had to start life over in the US and the only thing you could choose was your race, are you suggesting you'd have no preference?

I didn’t chose to be white and my half Mexican brother didn’t chose to be Mexican but we both live great lives.

Neither one of us would change our race.

Go ask 100 black people this question and report your answers back ASAP.

If there is truly systemic racism then the Democratic Party is the bastion of racism.

Look to Chicago that has been in democratic control for almost a century. If there truly was systemic racism shouldn’t it have been culled out by now?


The real answer is it’s a culture problem and nobody wants to address it because sometimes truth and hard facts aren’t pretty and may hurt feelings.


There is a podcast called Walk Ins Welcome and the host interviewed Coach Tea, it was a good lesson and he made very strong points about the “black community”:

What a stupid question, why is it confined to race?

Let me put it to you this way, if I wanted to start over and I could pick one thing about myself it wouldn’t be race. I would just choose to be rich, or really athletic, or really smart.

Why choose white and take a chance you are dumb as rocks or born in a trailer park?

You act like being black is the only disadvantage you can be born with. And that’s assuming you think it’s a disadvantage, I don’t. Your position seems more racist than mine.

So I am expected to believe their is and always has been systematic racism (fancy wording for saying a racist government and political system) in this country when...

1. This country just finished electing an African-American to two terms as president.
2. Has had at least one African-American on the Supreme Court for as long as I have been alive (which is two years after the Civil Rights Act was passed).
3. Has an entity in Congress called the Congressional Black Caucus which no one in this country has had a problem with for as long as I can remember.
4. Is one of the most preferential places for every race on the planet to immigrate to and has been for the last hundred some years.
5. Has had African-Americans serve in practically, if not every, position in the Cabinet.

If that is systematic racism we as a country are even worse at systematic racism than we are at cutting government spending and demanding accountability from our politicians.

A small part of the population committing 80% of the crime is an injustice to the innocent victims of all demographics.

Giuliani said recently that when he was mayor that the first thing the good people of Harlem and the South Bronx asked for was more police protection.

The Myth of Systemic Police Racism (Wall Street Journal)

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone with a paid subscription to the WSJ could make a PDF of this article and repost here it in its entirety.

It’s an excuse to cover for following a destructive culture and making really poor decisions.

Systemic racism does exist, see planned parenthood and abortion.
