I'm trying, Jennifer. I guess you are right. Of all the posters in this thread, I see only one whose racism needs to be dealt with. barfo
If you want to have a discussion about systemic racism, or want to comment on systemic racism, you should know what it is. Just my personal opinion. You seem to have an opinion on it without being able to say what it is. Maybe UCD was right and it is all just trolling. You do you.
It's implying that, systematically, America is racist, and that racism itself - tp whatever degree - is imbedded in all of our ways of thinking, laws, etc. I happen to disagree with that notion.
1000% true. I hear this thrown around constantly without a shred of evidence that it actually exists.
The angry left in here have no intention of backing their assertions that so-called systemic racism is alive an well in America,

The majority of areas that were accused by the Trump of committing voting fraud were minority communities. Trump's people targeted counties with large black and latino populations. Since none of those accusations were based on fact or reality that is targeted racism.
As I've mentioned over an over in here. Check in with your own sphere. Are you witnessing racism as a majority? In terms of "systemic" racism do you see that effecting your community as a whole? Really?
Regardless of whether or not those accusations are true (I happen to believe they aren't), that isn't an example of "systemic racism".
I'm grateful to live in a country that where through hard work and dedication there is no limit to what you can achieve. I happen to follow many individuals who are black or otherwise who have lived out this dream in their lives It's a shame so many ungrateful people have lost sight of this fact.
So if systemic racism isn't effecting you and those in your lilly white suburb, it doesn't really exist? I remember shortly after moving to Portland having a conservative friend here saying how racism wasn't really that big of an issue. Of course, he spent his whole life in Portland, around like 90% white people, so it's easy to think that. It takes a real concerted effort to look at the country as a whole, and try to pretend that systemic racism, and a byproduct, white privilege, does not exist. And denying its existence helps to keep it going. Denying there's a problem is a big part of the problem.
