Drop out of college for reason “unable to research”

Merit isnt king. Quite literally trump is proving merit isnt king. He quite literally caused multiple POC to lose their jobs and replaced them with less qualified white people. The fact that trump won is evidence of merit not being king. You are deluded if you think America is a meritocracy. Especially when it’s been proven that black people have to be overqualified just to get the same job as a white person. Do better.

Doesnt exist anymore. Also if you were aware of the racial history of this country you wouldn’t be screaming racism at policies meant to address the sins of racism. Like 3 said, you don’t know how to do research.

Can’t imagine being this brain dead, I almost pity you.

How do you heal the wounds of racism if you don’t address and reverse the actions that led there? When slave masters lost their slaves they were given reparations. When Asian Americans were stuffed into interment camps they were given reparations. Many Jewish people are still receiving reparations. How is ur that all of these sins can be addressed but never those committed against black people?

It’s not racism. If I could compare it to something it would be me and you having a race but you getting a 200 football field head start. The referee letting me walk 200 football fields forward to be even with you isnt unfair or racist, it’s putting everything on even ground how it should’ve been.

It’s not giving reparations it’s just implementing an oppressed and oppressor caste system and using it to justify taking resources away from the latter. It’s organized monolithic groups. There are varying degrees to which someone’s choices are responsible compared to the environment, and sometimes both. There’s no actual measurement, it’s complete theory. I’m not opposed to helping unfit people get into shape for the 100-yard dash, but you have to let them enter and run on their own will.

It’s different when those choices can be directly traced back to past and current racist systems. Your comparison of unfit people isnt accurate. It’s more so you locking up someone and force feed them unhealthy foods to the point where they become out of shape and then complain because they are out of shape. Let’s not forget that black people had thriving communities that were burned down, turned into lakes, or had highways jammed into them. Black people had leaders that were murdered.

Many times black people got their footing and tried to prosper, they were punished for it. When black women attempted to make a living selling watermelons, watermelons were demonized and turned into a racist stereotype. When black people tried to run for office to better their conditions they were lynched.

Genuinely not replying to you anymore. It’s clear to me that you are acting in bad faith and don’t want to have a genuine dialogue. Get out of my replies

Nobody can deny that the separation of peoples in law on the basis of race whether with treatment equal or unequal existed for a large proportion of time in the U.S., it’s just a debate on whether or not such laws exist today. How do you measure whether any given individual is affected? How can you show that they are directly traced? At what point does the ugly monstrum of a system rear its head, and not the anecdotal biases on the level of the individual or group of individuals?

That’s not a debate. There are tons of research data that talks about how racism of the past impacts the people of today. There’s tons of research data looking at systemic racism from the healthcare system to the school system to the justice system to the job market and so much more. I mean brother look at the person in office. A person endorsed by a member of the KKK is running the country.

The fact that someone can be so blatantly racist and still receive support just shows how normalized racism is and how uncaring America is to this racism

Hate crimes have increased in direct correlation with the rhetoric he uses

What do you think about how the Trump administration has made wealth inequality significantly worse because Trump has been selling us out to do favors for his billionaire friends & also trading thousands of individual stocks which no other modern day president has ever done
