I'm curious what you guys think of this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-white-power-retweet-set-011126104.html For those that support Trump if you'...

Because it was because you did not substantiate anything to support your opinion. I'm definitely not closed off. Apparently you don't know me that wel...
June 30, 2020 at 05:01
I call it how I see it. “Systemic racism doesn’t exist” it’s a bullshit term “Whites privilege doesn’t exist” If all you can provide are anecdotal cla...

How so? Help me understand. If by social control are you referring to changing the social paradigm? I mean we can say the civil rights movement was a ...
June 29, 2020 at 04:30
Ok. I can respect that. There is information that I can provide that can give you a glimpse that such exist. We can start with Stop-and-Frisk which th...

And where did you get that idea? No I don’t. I am wary of some whites sure because I’ve been treated differently in my history. That doesn’t mean I am...
June 28, 2020 at 16:21
No. Not affording anything except that the rhetoric that you espoused and your self admission of unawareness is apparent that your privilege, which is...
June 28, 2020 at 16:17
Of course you aren’t aware such is the life of the privileged and the ignorant. Normally I’d post articles and studies but considering I’ve heard that...

I was going to make a separate post but I think I’ll just post it here as it relates to the subject matter. What do you all make of what Morgan Freema...

You should look up Jane Elliot’s brown eyed blue eyed study

Healthcare, law enforcement policies (e.g Stop-and-Frisk) the education system, justice system.
June 28, 2020 at 14:12
No. Because these “residual effects” are embedded in different facets of society such as racism in healthcare, economics, policing etc. No it does not...
June 28, 2020 at 14:10
No. Actually it is to demonstrate that blacks are targeted and that there exist racial bias in policing citizens. Pray tell share your story Are you t...
June 20, 2020 at 15:06
What about though of us who suffer from the residual effects of such policies?
June 20, 2020 at 14:55
Yes, for more reasons than I can list here. But to be direct, my parents never raised me to be racist nor a bigot, and that humanity is the species to...

I believe Judas was both the hero and anti-hero. In essence he sacrificed his character in the story by being the betrayer of a purely good man. Howev...

And I believe this hits the nail on the head. However, during the downtime at work I’ll be glad to look over your links. I’m sure there is some very g...

Laws have been doing that for centuries and decades in the United States which is why there is an economic gap between whites and blacks. For example,...
June 16, 2020 at 21:54
I agree. The battlefield is much larger than what we see our on home front
June 16, 2020 at 21:47
The past sometimes leads to the present, hence is why civil rights movement existed. Hence is why we have modified laws in the Jim Crow era to make it...

I don't doubt you. I do not doubt that there are those in the shadows pulling the puppet strings who are the 1%. But let me ask you though, what ethni...
June 16, 2020 at 08:09
I agree. However there is still the question of complicity despite those who do not share the racist mentality. That itself is just as dangerous as th...
June 16, 2020 at 05:48
I agree, however the beliefs are attached to the person and unfortunately generational beliefs do not change easily. As a black man myself, despite my...

Have you studied why such things are in place? I mean I know why affirmative action in the beginning was in place? Have you studied why such things ar...
June 16, 2020 at 04:59
You're definitely on point
June 16, 2020 at 04:56
I would also say that is untrue however I believe the "school book" aspect was satire on your part
June 16, 2020 at 04:54
Agreed. According to you. The history of my parents, as well as my grand-parents and their parents and so on tell a different story. White lives do ma...
June 16, 2020 at 03:03
I'm a bit late to the forum (approximately two years due to being in graduate school) however I can touch upon systemic racism and why it exists and w...

Of course I'm commenting on the feminism promoted in the United States... Because of the lack of intersectionality that exists in western feminism, ma...
April 24, 2019 at 17:51
Where did you contrive this nonsense? Nope. Actually there is writing that supports the view that the lack of intersectionality in feminism is what ha...

Ok, but its still not terrorism. At the end of the day nobody was physically hurt.
April 24, 2019 at 17:42

It's not a terrorist attack if the only victim was the person who started the hoax in the first place. The only setback was the time and wasted resour...
April 23, 2019 at 17:30
It's relevant to the point I was making. Don't tell me you're from England when you have dog shit in your yard. If you're going to have the dialectica...

Of course I acknowledge it happens less, but the fact remains it should not happen period. On top of that at least in my country we tell the world we ...

Technology is an extension of man's thought. You destroy that you destroy every trace of man's genius. Again, we are talking about a catastrophe.
April 22, 2019 at 02:33
