It still does exist. Trump didn’t get rid of any legislation, he just eliminated some DEI stuff in government, a lot of which was symbolic gestures. The only real blow to affirmative action was SFA v. Harvard, and even that didn’t fully fix the problems with college admissions. Yes white women benefited, but how does one measure who the main beneficiary was?
People like you genuinely pmo. No critical thinking at all. When a POC says they don’t like white poeple they mean it in the ‘I don’t like them because they don’t see me as a human but rather a lesser being’. When a white person says they don’t like a POC they mean it in the ‘I don’t like those people because they aren’t humans to me or are lesser than I’. They are not the same. White people don’t experience cultural nor systemic racism in the states.
That’s a false generalization. Individual pocs might say they don’t like white people for either or both reasons. I’ve heard both. The same goes for white people. The very fact that you think that ironically shows you lack critical thinking/nuance and have accepted the cultural racism against white people, ergo proving my point further
It was literally ruled out by the Supreme Court in June 2023, so what are you talking about? One measures who the main beneficiaries were by looking at the statistics that show who it was..which is white women. Both of these things you replied to me with could’ve been answered correctly by a simple google search
Unfortunately despite the ruling, those practices still persist in many places. Also I asked you bc there are many ways one could measure that. The study I saw saying white women were the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action were flawed. They only looked at college attendance and measured white women on a different timeline than pocs. Also, their finding was that college admissions among white women rose substantially between 1967 and 2009, which could easily be explained away by…
I just mentioned examples of systemic racism. Affirmative action and some DEI programs are systems that are racist. Besides, there is nobody who is behind JUST because their ancestors weren’t white. People are more than that. Some groups of white people (Irish, Italians, Poles, Germans) as well as other races experienced severe persecution and setbacks as well. That doesn’t take away from those against black people, but I’m saying it is something they also experienced
You acting dense on purpose. DEI and Affirmative action were put in place by white people to begin with. And that is NOT systemic racism at all. You aren’t getting left out of something because you are white. And lets not even talk about how the CIA put cocaine in black neighborhoods. There are PLENTY of people affected by that today.
‘There is nobody who is behind JUST because their ancestors weren’t white’… have you read any literature on racial history in America? I’ll list a few to help you with your history. Redlining and discriminatory mortgage lending in the 30s caused black families to not be able to enter the housing market which meant they couldn’t acquire housing equity nor generational wealth. You know how FDR called real estate the safest investment in the world? Yeah well black families weren’t allowed the..
..same opportunities. If you’re not allowed to accumulate a large portion of GENERATONAL wealth, well that means your future generations are going to be at a disadvantage, so how is that not affecting people today? But how come black people couldnt afford better housing before the 30s? Slavery and sharecropping. Next there’s prison gang systems. What’s better than share cropping? Free labor which manifested in prison systems and laws that made loitering illegal for black people. Large..
Amounts of black people, specifically men and many times fathers, were sent to prison for incredibly long times, look at how marijuana is a schedule 1 drug. Tearing apart families for generations causes unstable households and generational trauma. How does this not show that it was JUST history that creates the shithole we have right now?
Bro I’m not deny any of that stuff happened or that white people haven’t committed tremendous and widespread evils against black people. My point is that white people can and do experience forms of systemic racism. Sometimes it was/is against certain groups of white people, sometimes nearly all. It may sometimes look similar or different to that which black people have and still do face depending on the time, place, and circumstances
