Black youth are taught that they can't bare personal responsibility for their lot in life. This is an insanely destructive idea to put into the mind of an impressionable young person. It's also extremely insulting and patronizing to the multitude of black people who have come from extreme poverty and have become extremely successful.

Young black males are taught by their peers that doing good in school is a "white" thing. This type of insane ideology which people are calling critical race theory is now infiltrating nearly every conceivable institution. To not recognize the threat this poses to the future prosperity of POC's is

Technically, they are correct. It is "systemic", and your second paragraph describes exactly how the system perpetuates it.

People just like to shit out the term "systemic" or "institutional" in place of an actual argument. You said the magic buzzword so beep boop turn brain off.

I mean, maybe the people you hang out with. But most people ... the kind that can use the English language properly ... use "systemic" to mean "it's built-into the system". And yes: racism is built-in to our American system, if you live in reality and not in fantasy-land. Here's how you can tell the difference between the two: evidence.

I can show you evidence that cops (as a group) treat minorities differently. I can show you evidence that schools treat minorities differently. I can show you evidence that financial institutions treat minorities differently. In other words, there is a whole lot of evidence that minorities have systemic problems in our society.

... whereas anyone who wants to live in fantasy land, and pretend that everyone in America is treated equally ... has no evidence to back that position up.

Btw the "Boomer" part is irrelevant. Is he white? Then he's racist, by nu-definitions

=IF("white", "Racist", "Saint")

A lot of messed up stuff is built into the system though and i think if you looked from far enough away all the problems we have fall under the same umbrella: people suck.

Yes. It's built-in to-the-system by tropes that are perpetuated by trumpeting "how much shittier your life would be if you were black"

It says, "oh...you were poor? Could you imagine how much shittier your life would be if you were poor AND black?!"

You ever consider that they treat them differently because they act differently? I grew up in a shitty gang infested neighborhood with a majority of minorities.

Pretty big difference between the general vibe of hanging out in my neighborhood, and going across the train tracks to the "white" neighborhoods. The white neighborhoods were alot more "square" and the criminally minded violents were a lot less prevalent, almost non-existent on the "white" side of town
