Are you trying to cancel an anonymous poster on internet political board?

 

Explain how it is racist.

 

Oh that was just the start of blatant racist posts by LarryJohn in that thread that were then removed by the mods. Look at LarryJohn's post history

 

Trump is not a racist, you couldn't even begin to support such a statement. You assume he is, because you have been told to assume that.

The reality is, racism is a non issue. But of what little racism exists, most is directed at white people, not coming from them.

 

Nothing about that was racist.

Not even close.

Facts arent racist just because you dont like it.

If he said something else afterwords that was racist, post it. But that statement was NOT at all racist. Nor could you even begin to support that claim.

This is just more of the left losing arguements and in return calling people racist.

 

Help me out here, how is that post racist?

You know, when people see math, chess, milk and grammar as being racist, then I would say the problem is with the people who see math, chess, milk and grammar as racist.

 

I find racists and SJW's equally stupid. All crying about **** that doesn't matter.

 

100% telling you to give proof instead of your personal opinion and personal story.

 

You didn't even read the OP, did you.

 

That is not systemic racism. Your story is an example of a racist making an a$$ out of themselves.

Systemic racism is a system of policies that discriminate against groups because of their race. The only group which suffers from this in the US is the Asians who are prevented from being accepted into prestigious universities by affirmative action policies.

 

Less prevalent.
But still prevalent.

As long as it's prevalent, it's ingrained. And it gets into our systems as humans run those systems.

"Do you think there is systematic or institutional racism in this country?" Woodward asked.

"Well, I think there is everywhere. I think probably less here than most places or less here than many places," Trump responded.

"OK, but is it here? In a way that it has an impact on people's lives?" Woodward asked.

"I think it is, and it's unfortunate, but I think it is," Trump said.

Its not prevalent, nor is it "ingrained". Its never been less prevalent before, to the point its virtually gone, so much people like smollett have to fake it to keep the narrative going. Its not institutionalized at all, nor could you even begin to support that belief.

The reality is, racism is a non issue. But the small bit that exists is largely directed towards whites, not coming from them.

And once again your sources are wholly lacking to prove the point you think they are.

That being said, this is progress. At this point the left is no longer arguing that systemic racism is real, atleast from the traditional notion they used to. Now its just "inherent": as long as racism exists to any degree. That is a concession, that it doesn't actually exist if you actually break it down. Good stuff.

 

You arent doing that at all yourself.

All you are doing is providing anecdotes that dont refute the empirical data that disproves the notion of systemic racism.

 

You said it's less prevalent today than yesterday.
I agree it is less prevalent.
It's likely another 2 or 3 generations before it becomes not prevalent. But we must address it for that to happen

 

Correct, I am not doing that myself.
I am providing links to stories are are all to prevalent yet today.

 

It is already not prevalant, pretending its a bigger issue than it is, is ultimately regressive and holding back true progress.

Its simply used as a political tool, a bludgeon to attack anyone who disagrees with the left.

Good news is, that nonsense is going away soon. I suspect another decade of it max. Likely less. People are waking up to this regressive tactic.

 

You are providing anecdotes, which dont support the point you are trying to make, despite your protest otherwise. Thats not evidence of anything other than a single isolated incident.

So yes, yes you were.

 

You realize that a handful of anecdotes in a country of 330 million people are essentially meaningless, right? At least, if you're trying to prove "systemic" anything.

Or do you not understand this?

 

This haha.

I’ve been trying to explain this to many of my hyper liberal friends in real life.

Anecdotes are sooo meaningless from an empirical perspective, based on data. Yet to so many, they are so powerful. They stir emotion, then peoples thinking becomes driven by emotion and not statistics, data, logic, or any desire for truth. This is why the media are so powerful, they stir peoples emotions, controling how they feel and therefore how they think.

 

Liberals, in particular, seem to be ruled primarily by their emotions. It doesn't leave much room for facts and logic in their day-to-day lives.

 

I am not looking at anything. Explain your comment.

 

What a well thought out and articulate rebuttal. We greatly appreciate your contributions to the debate.

 

Please post all the proof of Trumps racist actions. I'll wait.

Biden on the other hand, we have 47 years of his racist proof. Heck, even his own VP candidate called out Beijing Biden during their last debate. Remember, Biden was against the desegregation of the Wellington school system, worried this his kids would grow up in a racial jungle.

I think the OP of this thread desperately needs to read this article. Along with pretty much every progressive. If only we could get them to put down their Marxism for dummies guides and read up on empirical evidence and objective fact. This article doesn't even mention Tony Timpa, a white man with a mental condition who died from a knee on his neck from a police officer. The fact that more white people are killed by cops every year, yet you have to go to google and search long and hard to even find a list of them, is evidence of how anecdotal evidence is taking over the racism conversation and people(mostly progressives) are not paying attention to facts.
