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.

Umm. There are several examples of things that don’t exist that cause problems. Things don’t need to exist to cause a problem. The only requirement is for people to believe they exist.

You are correct. I keep forgetting that the DNC is the party of mental illness where things that don't' exist is the most existential threat to our democracy, planet and climate. I agree with you on this.

To say bail reform and criminal justice reform are toxic makes no sense. Perhaps you think they let murderers out with $100 bails or something? Most of the bail reform initiatives I've seen are limited to non-violent offenders. Also 'defund the police' is only espoused by the far-left and many Democrats, including Biden, have said police need more funding.

Really?

Lots of DA are going through and went through recall efforts due to the crime rise but I don't think that was over low level offenders do you?

Yeah, transing kids, buring cities and being openly racist is something most normal poeple will not like. Funny strategy by the DNC. Also odd how the polls are showing more and more want the Rs to handle the crime issue since the D are doing such a great job! Lets see how it plays out in the mid-terms.....

Kinda like how the Rs are handling violent crimes in states like Oklahoma?

ITT Farb acknowledges the existence of systemic racism in America!

Who doesn't? Systemic racism flourishes throughout many large American cities.

 

[MT15]

Farb denies that systemic racism exists.

And do you believe it only exists in “large cities”? Lol.

Lots of liberal cities in the top from crime. Don't Dems do better in cities than Rs?

And just so we are clear, I don't think Rs are just better at crime. Most Rs are corrupt and also part of the liberal establishment.

and yet no proof, just spooky systematic racism hiding under your bed!

spooky systematic racism

For someone who thinks systemic racism is a silly conspiracy theory, you sure like to dabble in them yourself:

Most Rs are corrupt and also part of the liberal establishment.

I will say it again for those those in the back....Systemic racism does not exist in this country, despite the political powers that desperately need it too.

 

[brandon]

Systemic racism does not exist in this country

You saying it doesn't make it so. We've shown multiple cases where it is absolutely evident.

Given that guy's track record he's probably cryptically arguing something you'd agree with like racism against white people.

Not so fast.

This is from Conservapedia, and I may have to agree:

Systemic racism is a phenomena that exists in many large American cities and police departments that have been controlled by Democrat mayors and city councils since passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965. After passage of the Biden Amendment in 1975 repealing sections of the Civil Rights Act,[2] systemic racism flourished in Democrat strongholds.

This looks like it's saying that democrats are the architects of systemic racism which I found a little surprising. But then, when you think about how democrats love to project on Republicans, it began to make sense.

Well it is saying that, because your source is Conservapedia. Like, what did you expect them to say?

But let's give your "source" the benefit of the doubt and say they're completely correct. The question is not "who was the architect of systemic racism nearly fifty years ago" (and let's be clear, systemic racism in America obviously goes back WAY before 1975), but "who is taking steps to dismantle it, versus who continues to uphold it?"

And? Are you trying to say that any source you bring up is more valid than Conservapedia? Let's talk about some of your sources.

I like where you're going with this. Let's look at the now.

Talk about how Republicans are trying to uphold systemic racism today. Cite an example and we'll work from there.

In the other thread about 5 minutes ago, I posted articles from the Justice Department and the Senate Intelligence Committee. Yes, let's talk about my sources.

Here's a good one to start with. I'll cite wikipedia here even though we just had the discussion on questionable sources because pretty much everything else regarding the case is in legalese or from sources clearly on one side or the other of the discussion. Pay close attention to the "Impact" section.

Well don't just stand there, link it over to here and explain your argument.

No, we'll let Wiki sit this one out. lol

I'll get back to you on Shelby v. Holder when I've had a chance to look through it.

So Conservapedia (an online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone) is fair game, but Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone) is not a good source? Especially since I am willing to bet I can find outright lies and lies by omission on the Conservative version in less than 5 minutes.

Not really a surprise. They also think it is entirely too difficult for black and brown people to figure out how to obtain an ID to vote.
