We're talking about "systemic racism" being denied. The very first post: So, now we've advanced to the point where what actually happened in the threa...
It takes and should take time. I don't know exactly how they'll do it but it did work in Northern Ireland and the situation is analagous in many, if n...
If you'd read the thread, you'd see that was the case from the beginning. Have you read the thread? It's only 4 pages long... Which was why it was exp...
You served the rhetoric, I returned it. Committing to disband an entire police force is a big step. It is exactly what was called for and eventually d...
It's a rhetorical point aimed at those who consistently wish to deny historical and contemporary reality no matter how much it's explained to them. Th...
Systemic racism in the US: Why is it happening and what can be done? This: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/501583-majority-of-minneapolis-cit...
Probably the only way some folks here will understand what systemic racism is is if we make their group slaves for 400 years then when we have everyth...
Not only questioning it but pretending it's the opposite of what it is in some cases, apparently. Anyway, I'm out. I'll leave someone else to deal wit...
Yeah, that's a decent one. The way I tend to think of it is along these lines too: Another way to put that would be doing anything predictably in resp...
That wasn't really where I was going with that. In fact, the point I was making was more like depending on how you frame it, the question "where are t...
Well, what street said. There is systemic classism and systemic racism and they work together to propagate poverty. The more information we have about...
Reading that, I think we might disagree about the extent of the specific role racism plays in the problems facing black communities, but not the exist...
+Pretending that a social phenomenon that's been studied, documented and written about for decades doesn't exist is about as plausible as claiming the...
You also need to look up the difference between 'systemic' and 'systematic'. They're not the same thing. As I mentioned before, the objections to the ...
Yes, nothing racial about this I know, but seeing as police brutality is one of the specified topics of the OP... Anyway, the context is the guy is ol...
Much more good stuff going on between police and protesters, all very welcome, as are @"Wolfman"'s comments, which give us an insight into things from...
We usually don't delete straight away in case someone changes their mind. But everyone has the right to have their user name and personal information ...
Same story as healthcare, pump more money into a shitty system and you get a worse outcome. Terrible for everyone except special interests. I didn't r...
Don't know why they made it so easy. Idiots. :lol: Anyway, re the article. The author recognizes systemic racism exists here: "Certainly, poor blacks ...
E.g. Are you talking to me here? I already made this distinction: So, maybe the language is tricky (and actually I was aware of that when I was writin...
Don't know why you don't just use the term that describes what's being talked about, which is systemic racism. No-one here is claiming some absolute d...
Mostly for conciseness's sake. I thought about writing racism and systemic racism in the OP title but it sounded awkward so I just specified that you ...
Not debating this here, Brett. If you really feel strongly that systemic racism doesn't exist in the US and you can reasonably demonstrate that with e...
No, I'm saying stay on topic. You can start your own topic about the existence of systemic racism somewhere else. This conversation is about how to st...
Systemic racism obtains when a system(s) function (regardless of explicit rules) to favour certain racial groups over others. It doesn't require overt...

I actually did see that first video before and it is fucking insane. The stuff of nightmares. In fact, worked it into a short story I wrote. (In the s...
A very basic taxonomy of systemic racism (overlapping with systemic classism). Rich, powerful and white: Police reaction: Subservience. Middle-class w...
It's been proven beyond a doubt there is. You can just leave for now, I suppose. We'll remove your personal details, delete your name and so on later....
This is brilliant. https://youtu.be/ZfOYAJFCNnM These cops arrest a guy because he "looks like" a suspect (i.e. he's black). Turns out the guy is FBI....
