Google/FB/Insta Engineers Release New Doc to prevent Civil War

Is the racism systemic and problematic Phage?

a reply to: Lysergic

I cannot speak from my experience, as I have said. I must rely on the experiences of others. There seems to be a common thread in many of those experiences.

It's also not the topic, as I have also said.

a reply to: Phage

Well we gotta prevent "da civil war" right?

a reply to: Lysergic

I think that's a lot of nonsense. There are only a few who advocate such.

And it is not actually the topic.

What?

If you want to search for articles of racism then you can find as much as you want. You can believe it is at whatever level you want too, so posting about a guy who ran into a racist cop from the 80s really doesn't say much. Statistics says otherwise outside of what we would just call an asshole. I think you like statistics still don't you, or are you all heart and no brain now.

And it doesn't happen any more. That's good to hear.

Well if you listen to Lebron James he is in fear for his life daily over it now. He might be a billionaire if he wasn't Black, wait he is a Billionaire and he has about 1000% more chance that if someone kills him that person will be black too.

There is a narrative being driven by the woke left and media that is just not true...

Yeah. I can believe it. Actually.

What is "lots" 20 million or 2000? I lean on the 2000 side... and yes I agree they look like they were dropped as a baby and maybe were. To see a 100 get together from all over the country is a big deal to them, but I don't think that is the racism you are talking about as much as more along the lines of covert racism which blacks have towards themselves too...

It isn't racism caused by the color of one skin, but more because of pockets of cultural dysfunctionality that plague many of our cities. When Blacks get out of these areas they are as successful as anyone else.

No rural racism? Is that your claim?

Is it...Did I say that at any point in the history of all my posts...lol

I don't even know what point you are trying to make other than just trying to be abstruse in your replies. Stop being absolute as if it makes any point at all.

Absolute? I asked a question. I asked for clarification of this statement:

It wasn't a question for clarification, and you know it...lol

I'm sure there is and I'm sure there is not...who knows...big country...lots of space...

I would typically say no since most rural areas kind of know who lives there no matter the color of their skin and any outsiders no matter who kind of get looked at, wouldn't you say?

But what does rural half to do with systemic racism that is the big narrative today pushed by the left. Big cities drive everything including the state Goverment, wouldn't you say too? Many big cities are Liberal in nature, would you also agree?

Again what is your point with Rural? lol

Urban drives everything in a state.. Take Washington where I live..get 50 feet out of Seattle area and it is all red, but the state is very blue.

I lost the point what we are talking about here. Was it some farmer who doesn't like Black people whose next neighbor is 5 miles away or were we talking about what really is causing all this...

Maybe it is best to get back on topic and let this die for another day.

We are a generation past judging people by skin color.

As a honest question, how many people do you personally know that you would say were racist. For me I know 1000s of people and every once in a while one comes along and they are not always white...

Irrelevant. I personally know one person who has been infected with COVID19. Does that mean few have been?

I know one too... Is racism a contagious disease that you do not have a choice about? I never said it wasn't out there. I said the numbers of true racist people is low and growing lower every decade. It sure is not holding back 40 million Black people from personally achieving, and our system is not systemic racist. Both are current narratives by the left.

I know you did. I'm not as certain of that as you are.

There are many who overcome the racism of others, true. But when racists are in positions of authority it is a problem for our entire society.
