I had an entire thread an no one could identify a single example of so-called "systematic" racism. These are intentionally vague, undefined terms used to bully, berate, and secure economic advantage. All of these allegations and concepts collapse under specifics.
Tell me about your community?
How many blacks on the city council?
How many blacks on the school board?
How many blacks on your police force force/fire department??
How many black businesses?
How many white private schools?
How many white churches?
Thank you in advance
So I'll take that as you do not have ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of so-called "systematic" racism.
I offered you six choices. Choose one. If there are none say so
Absolutely none of those are anywhere close to examples of "systemic" racism. Let me help you out. Examples of "systemic" racism would be something like a law or statute that denies or limits freedom to people of a certain race, or societally accepted denial of jobs to qualified people of a certain race, or racial segregation (separate but unequal), or Jim Crow laws, or denial of housing to people of a certain race, or disallowing people of a certain race to participate in or attend public or private events or things like church or private schools. True, many of those examples existed and were legal previously in our PAST history (as in a half century or more ago) but none of them exist today at least from the standpoint of legality or from the standpoint of societal norms. This country has bent over backwards over the last half century plus to societally eradicate those kinds of things and has to say the least been highly successful in doing so.
As a final point, using
your logic I could claim "systemic" racism by asking:
How many whites on an average NBA team?
How many whites on an average NFL team?
Why is there no "White Entertainment Network"?
Why is there no "Congressional White Caucus"?
Why is there no "White Miss America"?
Why is it that nobody bats an eye when a black person kills a white person, but when the opposite occurs it's totally an excuse for rioting, looting, burning cop cars and general violent mayhem?
All of those are
just as much so called examples of "systemic" racism as any of your examples and the bottom line is none of them from either of our lists are examples of anything of the sort.
