To be fair, some people seem to confuse institutional racism with general racism.
Very, very trueQuote:

What is this "it" you refer to?Quote:

Laws, financial institutions, educational institutions, employment, housing, and much more, are not in their favor.
yep. Individual racism is more so prejudice. Systematic racism is what liberals are constantly referring to. The pillars of our society is built with walls, many of which were built with keeping blacks in a state of poverty, and making sure their path to success (however you measure it) was exponentially harder than whites.Quote:

The guardrails are off. Call it racist, they will call you being "woke" with a threatening sneer. Don't offend them, boss, while they are being offensive.
They have realized there aren't consequences to **** that used to have consequences.
Yeah they'll just become a political pawn when they get pardoned
Saying it out and proud. The willingness to take the hit for his conviction is troublesome.
Its amazing the confidence in which people speak outright racism then gaslight others in trying to tell them its something else. I find it hard to believe this is the first time he has espoused those views either whether it was to his colleagues, his friends, etc. The alarm bell didn't go off to say maybe we should tell the school board that this guy shouldn't be teaching?Quote:

It was the norm for blacks to stick to their own, and I had to adjust when I moved back up north to the fact that interracial relationships involving blacks are common most other places.Quote:

Guys I was friends with through college/work, as soon as they said **** like this in front of me, they weren't a friend anymore.
They are getting rather bold and seeing little to no consequences.Quote:

Did you not notice that one of the reasons people kneel is because of police brutality?Quote:

Yes because white people are the only people who become cops or for that matter abuse their power. Guess you would need to know that they can be separate issues but good luck with that coming from you.Quote:

Yup, just random people. That's all it was, just a bunch of random people that killed a guy. No other pertinent detail about them exists, they were simply random people and nothing else.Quote:

We'll. You're the idiot I always suspected you to be. The kneeling was 100% about white cops beating/killing black perpetrators. That's not what happened there.Quote:

:laugh: No. This is the type of **** one gatheres with every situation. It was 100% about white cops going after black perpetrators. Now its black cops going after black perpetrators. At least one of us was paying attention.Quote:

This coming from the guy who was trying to tell me I called black cops assaulting black citizens, systemic racism.Quote:

I didn't say racism wasn't part of the equation. I said people kneeled due to police brutality even in instances where it doesn't involve racism. You're just too drunk or too stupid to figure that out.
Kneeling 100% always was about white cops beating or killing black people. That was ALWAYS the issue.Quote:
