Anti-racist activist/philanthropist kills based on skin color

Actually, by some definitions, he cant be racist.

 

Instead of anecdotal stories because you can find cases for every opinion held by mankind, can you provide statistical evidence of which groups are most effected by racist rhetoric and policies?

 

That's simply not true, anyone can be a racist.

 

Yup. Again, people like @dachuda86 are brainwashed by YouTube channels that constantly strawman arguments.

An individual white person in the United States can definitely personally experience racism. But the white community in the United States overall has experienced a net benefit on the fruits of racism through accumulating wealth, property and education for multiple centuries while making it difficult for groups such as African Americans to obtain things such as property and education through systemic racist policies such as redlining and segregation. That's the point that @dachuda86's ideological enemies keep on saying but he keeps on hearing a strawman version of that argument.

 

Those who argue that believe racism is a systemic issue on a mass scale.

Clearly this person is racist against whites. It's all semantics at the end of the day. I am not sure what the discussion is here. This person clearly committed a despicable hate crime

But what @dachuda86 is doing here is different. He is trying to use this example to defeat the cause against systemic racist by saying it's not real. It is real. Black people are discriminated against when it come to everything from schools, clubs, daycare, jobs, and the criminal justice system. The evidence is clear. But many white supremacist groups like you to think it is not.

 

If you want a good faith discussion, ask yourself why you think it matters or at least predict what you think my answer will be. Let's try to use that matter between your ears.

 

The "system" has created a power dynamic that took 400 years to brew where power, wealth, ownership of property etc was accumulated by one group and supressed for another group intentionally. To pretend those 400 years of wealth and education concentration while suppressing other groups has no effect on the current status quo is absurd.

It's equivalent to doing a 100 meter sprint where your opponent for the first 70 meters has to run over hurdles while you don't and for the last 30 meters they don't run over hurdles while you never in that 100 meter sprint had to run over any hurdles and then proceed to call the race fair.

 

I don't know about your family background but if your ancestors because of their race or ethnicity for 400 years experienced systemic oppression in a closed system (within the borders of one nation-state) I bet my left nut that said race or ethnicity would experience worse statistical metrics in terms of wealth, education and crime rates than other ethnicities and races within that same closed system.

When I refer to "closed system" I'm referring to within the borders of a nation-state.

 

Also, you are assuming that 400 years of racial sentiments that repeatedly stated over and over that black people were ugly, couldn't do proffesional high skilled jobs, were genetically predisposed to being more dumb and violent etc just magically vanished because of some legislation in the 60s is also woefully naive. Those sentiments get passed down by parents and can be subconsciously held when making decisions on such things like who's qualified for a mortgage or whether a person deserves a harsher sentence or whether a person should be shot on sight because you fear for your life even though you found out they are unarmed.

 

There is an exception to every rule. We can create the perfect legal system and there will always be a case of everything; unfair justice, corruption, racial tendencies, blah blah blah. The reality is our justice system works pretty well, but not flawless. We are human. We are not perfect. And we can always improve.

That said, the evidence that the justice system favors the wealthy over the poor has come to the point we dont even bother questioning it. Its much easier to be a victim of something you can't control than something you can control.

Smollett is a perfect example. If this idiot was poor, he would probably be sitting in jail. Instead, he leveraged his wealth and fame against his race and sexuality and walked away a free man (for now). This is the epitome of corruption.

 

Is it me the or is there more hate from the Bay area up through Oregon and the Pacific Northwest than there seems to be in the historic Southeast? Weird..

 

What this thread is really about...

@dachuda86 was sitting there and was apparently worried that not enough people on this website thought that he had an overabundance of ignorance when it comes to race relations.

He set about effectively remedying that situation.

Mission accomplished, dachuda86.
