You know, you're probably right: something like 0.00001% of the reason why minorities are less well off than non-minorities is because they are taught to think they should be disadvantaged.

But do you know what the other 99.9999% is? Systemic disadvantage.

Systemic racism my ass. That shit was addressed decades ago. There is active systemic racism in place right now against whites, in an attempt to make the stagnation of the "other" less pronounced and it still doesn't work to create the same situation among whites who simply overcome, despite the restraints.

It's never been easier to succeed in the US as a black man. One only simply has to choose to commit to the path while trillions of philanthropic dollars fill your sails.

It's fun to live in make-up land.

Haha there's that great buzzword that just answers everything: Systemic. Yes.

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 suicidally ignorant.

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.

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

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.

Kids without dads, aka without a positive male role model

If you grew up without a dad because your dad is still in prison due to draconic crack cocaine sentencing laws of the 1980’s and 1990’s then you are a victim of systemic racism. Category A

If you grew up without a dad because your mom hooked up with someone she wasn’t even in a relationship with for the purpose of having another baby to get more TANF (temporary assistance for needy families aka welfare) benefits, then you are not a victim of systemic racism. Category B

Now how many kids without dads are in Category A versus Category B

We went from “I’m Individually Responsible” to “but but the dark skinned gentlemen in Chicago aren’t all so gentle”.

If you want to make an impact with the stat compare Chicago to an average 1st world city instead of American.

There's no comparison to be made between the free world and European slave states.

He doesn't understand that if the "greater good" mattered, the demograph responsible for the lion's share of the violent crime epidemic, and the highest fiscal burden would be removed...for the greater good, of course. It's a relevant thread within the chord

Just some casual, open calls for ethnic cleansing, I give you Project 1999.
