Please cite some examples for me. To me, systemic means from a system. The Jim Crow South was systemic. What system today can survive our sensitivity to racism if it were to carry on it's own form of racism? Maybe public schools, where inner city schools are keeping their minority students from reaching their full potential, and even then, it isn't codified in any laws. It's just the NEA protecting crappy teachers.

Throwing around terms like "racist", "fascist" and "Nazi" have diluted the meaning of the words to the point where it's like the teacher in "Charlie Brown". "Wah wah wah, a wah wah wah wah".
Too many examples to cite all. Just a few …

Systemic racism in the application of the death penalty.

https://www.aclu.org/other/race-and-death-penalty

Systemic racism in the U.S. Armed Forces.

https://apnews.com/article/us-military- ... 12d9375413

https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/opinio ... white-men/

Systemic racism in Republican Gerrymandering.

https://www.texastribune.org/2021/10/04 ... ation/amp/

The death penalty article is 20 years old. I am opposed to the death penalty (staunchly pro-life), so any application is bad. Blacks commit a disproportionate share of murders. Most of it is gang related. Why a gang member's life means less when sentencing is a travesty. Taking a life is taking a life.

The military article is interesting, but the DOD doesn't tolerate racism. These are experiences based on interpersonal interactions. Again, you won't find me saying racism doesn't exist. The Marine Corp piece is an editorial.

The gerrymandering article is misleading. 38 House seats and three African Americans is close to their percentage in the state, about 11%.
You can’t seriously be saying there is no systemic racism in death penalty sentencing, the U.S. Armed Forces, or in Republican Gerrymandering?

You would simply be lying.

DocBarrister
What about Planned Parenthood? Any comments on that? When talking about systemic racism and abortion, one must talk about that, right? Margret Sanger was a racist. 50% of black babies die in the womb due to this heinous act.
You are entitled to your religious beliefs.

Just don’t try to impose them on the rest of us. The United States is not a theocracy.

DocBarrister
It is not an opinion, it is fact and the fact is abortion is murder. Everyone knows it, but you worship at the altar of liberalism, which sadly, is a huge mental disorder. Don't you believe science, Doc? Life begins at conception. There are 2 genders as well. BELIEVE SCIENCE!!!
So, women who have had abortions are murderers? Their spouses and supportive family members, too? Should they be subject to the death penalty?

When a woman has a miscarriage, will they need to report that to the police and have the police and local D.A. determine whether it was really a miscarriage and not murder?

Are the couples who undergo IVF … are they also murderers?

I think you share more with the Taliban and the Ayatollahs of Iran than with people who cherish democracy. I’m just pleased that your views are extremist views shared by only a small cadre of reactionary theocrats.

Ok … not sure it is safe to have someone like you on this forum.

We need some kind of psychological screening for law enforcement. Crazy cops. Hopefully they both got some sort of disciplinary action, including a monetary penalty. I thought the first cop was an "A", but the second guy said "Hold my beer".

Except, MAGAt types tend to call psychological screening "cancel culture".

It ends up coming down to who is the arbiter...and what set of facts can be agreed upon, no?

One of our current political parties is lost these days in a world of holding up their own "alternative facts" that, you know, are true just because they believe them...

Mafia gangsters killing other Mafiosis by the hundreds over the years = white on white violence. Their spreading of drugs [along with those actions of corrupt drug dealing cops] have killed thousands over the decades as well --- white on black violence.

Bush starting two needless wars in the Middle East = white on Muslim violence. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Re Sanger, as I have posted innumerable times here, her financiers were all Republican [Rockefeller, Bush, Gamble, etc]. Without them PP would have gone bankrupt and disappeared from the annals of history.

A way more peaceful protest that the George Floyd riots. No law enforcement were killed by the protesters. Protesters were the only deaths.

Disgraceful. Anyone who watched the proceedings of the Committee today and who continues to support the former President and the party complicit in the events of January 6 and the long, planned effort to stage what was plainly an attempted coup are not really parties to the social contract that is the Constitution. You can wave all your flags, but support of these people is just disqualifying and a disgrace.

So you are safely ensconced in the NY media bubble. Don't blame me. If George Floyd protesters were treated like J6 defendants your panties would be so far up your butt they would need some Eagle Scouts to find them.

I was being generous, because I have a few friends who are LEOs and still see that as a job requirement.

That clown needs to face charges or (none exclusive) as ass-kicking. I hate to be so family-values oriented, but where is that kid’s family to rain down hurt on that asshat? Guess it falls to the rest of us.
