The reason for the term “systemic oppression” right now...

Wonder why this term has conveniently cropped up and is now being used by major corporations and schools who issue statements acknowledging their “systemic oppression”?
When the democrats eventually retake the presidency and the senate, they will pass bills that clearly violate the Constitution and specifically, the equal protection clause. Even stronger affirmative action, blanket free tuition for African Americans, free healthcare just for African Americans ... perhaps even taking of 401ks to pay for reparations or taking of your land and homes like they’ve done in South Africa.
Then, when it goes to the Supreme Court, they will have a “factual basis” for acknowledging the justification for all of these violations of your rights — look at all the corporations and institutions that have acknowledged their own “systemic oppression.” Hence, it’s a fact and must be fixed even at the loss of your individual rights.
No more police departments? No more protection of the citizens by the govt? What would the court say? “Systemic oppression” justifies that. You can’t have a gun any more to protect yourself? “Systemic oppression” justifies that.
If you sit out the vote or vote for a third party, you are in fact voting for the other guy this time. And please stop giving money to corporations that HATE you and your family.

They are using to paint everything as racist while not having to admit that the vast majority of the country is in fact not racist.

That is their play to get back into the White House. They are Democrats and as always would not follow through with any of what they preach for black Americans.

None of it has anything to do with unity or correcting any wrongs, it's about watering the tree of division

For the same reason that Shell sponsored the 1619 project. If America is fundamentally, irredeemably racist, then any failures in our current economic and political systems cannot be blamed on our most powerful economic and political institutions.
As long as the original sin of slavery is the primary focus of the nation, the ongoing sins of the large scale destruction of jobs and the trading of political influence for million dollar speaking gigs can continue to be swept under the rug.

You are almost right. My black (ish) friends don't approve of this "****" behavior either. They see the play for what it is and more and more are leaving the plantation, for real this time.
As an aside, my wife's great great granddaddy was "Newt Knight", from "The Free State of Jones" movie fame.
Edit; Hmmm? It seems the "N" word is prohibited here, even when it is used in proper context. No problem.

These assholes are trying to destroy the society as you know it. You think having no barrier whatsoever is no different than Trump?

It is because nobody can point to more than isolated examples of real identifiable racist oppression anymore.
What do you expect, the BLM and NAACP are just going to say "Our work is done, we are going to disband"?
No, of course not. They simply say that the racism is too subtle to see but so pervasive that it is overwhelming.

I think everyone is missing my point here. Yes, of course, it is “systemic” oppression when they can’t point to anything specific. My point was that the use of this very specific term and the language all of the corporations are using in their statements [look at the NFL statement] is a calculated, pre-planned, lockstep effort to create a “fact” to be used in future legal arguments. This is the long game.
I’m not exactly sure how the NFL which makes African Americans multi-millionaires several times over is racist but the fact that they just said they were themselves can be used in lawsuits by, say a white employee who gets replaced simply because he’s white, to justify the replacement. And a Supreme Court that is 4/4 with Roberts as the tie will agree with it.
Now take this tiny issue and magnify it to something like the government saying they need to appropriate the 401ks of white people to pay reparations and you see how this will play out.

It didn't "conveniently"come about. Blacks have been singing this tirelessly. You've just been privileged to not have to hear it. Thankfully, those days are gone. You're about to get educated.
Whether you want to hear it or not..

The reason the left uses “systemic oppression” is very simple.
1-Leftist are miserable people. I don’t mean that they are miserable to be around (they are
), but they are miserable in their lives. Dozens of scientific social and psychological studies prove this.
2-They need to be able to blame someone other than themselves, their choices, and their beliefs for their failure to be happy. Otherwise they become even more unhappy because without significant personal change, they will never be happy. But if they are victims, they will become happy if they can stop their oppressors!
3- The problem. They cannot point to an individual person and say this person ruined my life.
4-Therefore, since they cannot see their oppressors, their oppressors must not exist or are invisible! Not being a victim is unacceptable, therefore their oppressors are invisible but still viable.
5-What can be invisible but still victimize them? Well...CIRCUMSTANCES! I got an F on my test because circumstances kept me from studying. I got fired because circumstances prevented me from showing up on time. I’m sweating and miserable because circumstances didn’t let me pay my electricity bill and the A/C doesn’t work without power. But here is the problem, they are powerless to change circumstances. If only there was something like circumstance that I could blame for my miserable existence.
6-The siren song. There is a person who desires power, influence, sex, the finer things of life, MONEY. They could work and save, but they want it now! If I can get people to put me in power now! How? Political office gives power and power can be traded for money and money can bring the finer things of life, and power-money-the good stuff brings influence and sex! And I only have to work hard during the election cycle and I only have to delay gratification until the election cycle is complete!
7-Singing the song. I will tell the great miserable masses that the circumstances they are victims to is a system created by The Great Overlords! Like all evil, The Great Overlords come in many packages: The MAN, the WHITES, CAPITALIST, WESTERN CULTURE, HETEROSEXUALS, CHRISTIANS, and LEGIONS more! You are powerless against them unless you join with ME! I alone can defeat the DEPLORABLES! But I need your help, a little money, a few signs, word of mouth, and your vote! Easy! Simple! And you CAN DO IT! Happiness gained without effort!
8-The song remains the same. This Merry Band has been singing this “love” song to the miserable masses for millennia! The snake sang it to the first humans. And it works more often than not-for the snake. It has never made the miserable better circumstances, but it has occasionally made them happier. Misery loves company, and the snake’s song brings misery to the happy! The snake song is sung by many people for thousands of years. Some have just stolen like the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens. But others like the Hitlers, Stalins, Kims, and Planned Parenthood have murdered millions.
9-Something funny happened on the way to the concert. “Systematic Oppression” has been created by the Democrats, Academia, the Main Stream Media, and Entertainment. The “Basket of Deplorables” must be silenced and suppressed. They will be “re-educated” or they will suffer the fate of all sub humans, anti-revolutionist, and enemies of the people. Death and prison. Eventually there is no substitute. The snake song is the song of misery, the song of destruction, the song of death. And like the siren’s song, most humans cannot resist the wonder and joy they experience as they are devoured one piece at a time until death releases them from their sweet misery.

They reason they use systemic is because there isn’t a law that allows for racism in today’s age.
They can’t point to some magical boogeyman law that allows people to be racist at will.
They are claiming that even though they can’t point to it, it’s so ingrained into all of our systems that we can’t overcome it without legislation that directly names races and gives them the restitution (I.e. reparations, free stuff to make up for it.)
Systemic is a bad word because you can’t point at a system that actually enables racism. They should say latent or inherent.
I’d still disagree with them, but words matter. I’ll never agree with the word systemic.
