All things Racist...USA edition (1 Viewer)

[Farb]

I was looking for a place to put this so we could discuss but didn't really find a place that worked so I created this thread so we can all place articles, experiences, videos and examples of racism in the USA.

This is one that happened this week. The lady even called and filed a complaint on the officer. This officer also chose to wear the body cam (apparently, LA doesn't require this yet). This exchange wasn't necessarily racist IMO until she started with the "mexican racist...you will never be white, like you want" garbage. That is when it turned racist IMO

All the murderer and other insults, I think are just a by product of CRT and ACAB rhetoric that is very common on the radical left and sadly is being brought to mainstream in this country.

Another point that I think is worth mentioning is she is a teacher and the sense of entitlement she feels is mind blowing.

Cool. Where would I find that in codified into law, otherwise, it really isn't systemic is it?

So if it isn't coded into law, it doesn't exist?

yes, he wants it written somewhere that blacks get longer prison sentences

So I'll ask you. Are you saying there are ZERO coded laws in the USA that are based 100% on racism?
There are plenty. Just because they are not enforced doesn't mean they aren't there. And they are still there because they do not want them removed from the books.
Edit, again, I would say Google this stuff, but I'm sure Google is too "woke" for you..

Neat. Lets stay on target on this one.

I did.

You were my target.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

Coded racism laws are not far gone. Matter of fact, Louisiana didn't overturn the ban on interracial marriage until 1972. There are many people that were around from those days who were affected by those laws. Its not like these coded laws are a hundred years removed.

So you agree, every other civilization past and present is equal in racism and all the other 'ism' and 'ics' as the west?

No, it clearly varies from country to country. Racism isn't the same everywhere. Same can be said from state to state. Some states and countries are more racist, or whatever than others.

Lol, a law isn't what determines systemic racism. The unequal enforcement of a law can also be systemic racism. When a a much higher percentage of a people group are being treated in a different manner than others, there may be nothing wrong with the law on it's own, but justice isn't being applied evenly, that's a clear example of systemic racism. Already been posted here several times though, so listing those again seems counterproductive.

How can something be systemic if it is not in the system?

Can you show me one of those laws, I use google all the time. It is woke and until Musk buys that too and corrects it, then it is all we have.

You are probably right about being counterproductive as we have done this exercise before and I know you guys haven't moved from the stance that everything in the US is racist and I have not moved from my stance that this is probably the least racist society currently to ever have existed.

Isn't racism the same everywhere? The definition doesn't change by culture does it?

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

Have you used Google to try an find those laws that are still on the books? I guessing no.

 

[Bigdaddysaints]

Key word in my request: current

So you are saying with certainty that if racism isn't coded in the law, it isn't practiced?

 

[cuddlemonkey]

What constitutes "the system" in your view?

 

[brandon]

Can you show me proof of current systemic racism in this country that give an advantage to white people over black people?

We've already done this, multiple times. You just ignore it.

Also, I assume since you believe there's no systemic racism, you must be able to identify the real reason white people are largely more successful than black people. Please share your theory.

Not one person has said everything is racist. Why have a discussion when you insist on using hyperbole and strawmen to make your points? You ignore the ongoing racism in police profiling, inequal justice in the courts and blatantly prejudiced lending practices of banks. Is the US less racist than any other country? I'd argue it's not obvious. When people refuse to acknowledge that there is clearly inequalities in significant areas of our society, I don't see racial relations improving much.

Oh come on, you're being deliberately obtuse. You know the intent of what I said that some countries have more racism than others. That's the context of same/different, not the definition. Smh.
