Systemic / Institutional / Societal Racism

But you're the one who said "empirically". It's on you to show your work. All I said was "maybe". I've done the work that doesn't convince me already.

No. The onus is on you to show that systemic racism is a thing of the past.

I said MAYBE. Did you see that? I said that I don't know. I don't have proof either way. I DON'T KNOW. I suspect you don't know either. It is fun to be on the bandwagon though, isn't it?

Joe’s right. I don’t know why I ever clicked to see your posts. It’s just the same old bullshit with you.

Yep, put the blinders on when challenged. I said that I don't know either way so I guess that makes me a racist. Good day to you sir.

Can you show us your work (so far)?

When you say you've seen no evidence of a god but you're open to seeing the evidence, why would it be your onus to provide no evidence? Or how does that make you anti-god? When you say you have evidence of a god but you're unwilling to share the evidence, it makes you look like a liar. If it's a matter of faith, fine. But you just have to say that.

So the answer is no, you can't.

Yep. There might be a god or gods and there might be systemic racism. There also might be a talking jelly fish in my bedroom. Anything is possible. I'm open to it.

Come on tree, you said you did the work. Just wondering about it. Show us the light.

Who's to say if systemic racism exists in 21st century America? Listen to yourself and open your eyes.

lol I said that I did the work that shows there is no real evidence. If you have it I would love to see it.

No friend. The data is on the side of systemic racism.

You're the only one here without proof, posting ridiculous ideas either b/c you're confused or b/c you're amusing yourself.

Like I said, he's either a piece of shit or just really, really stupid.

OK. You've convinced me. I'll allow it.

There are reasonable arguments on both sides of this debate, ergo, "maybe".

[Norah]

lol @ thinking an opinion piece in the WSJ means anything

I quit after the first sentence. Systemic racism in policing is an Obama-era narrative.

Sure some of my cells are cancerous but the vast majority aren't!

Someone just please give me one blatant example of systemic racism.

As I said my mind is not made up but this guy is really convincing. 8:00 is the relevant stuff.

Someone arguing that systemic racism isn't a thing in America is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on this board. I've been here off & on since 2003. Just wow.
