    You'll need to explain that institutional racism against whites.

    I think you may be better off judging the character of the person.

    But there is still systemic racism. Just because it became illegal doesn't mean that racists in positions of power and authority stopped abusing their power and authority.

    Racism? Yes, but that's not institutional racism.

    Why not? It's causing a huge amount of debilitating social conflict.

    You are creating more racism through hateful policies and I guess it will need to run its course before progressives figure this out. As is ever other stupid idea they come up with.

    Why don't you post a single person on this site claiming the racism doesn't exist?

    Since you so dishonestly claim that I said it multiple times I asked you to quote me even one time and you were unable to do so.

    And I highly doubt that you can quote a single person here claiming what you keep saying.

    And your little universe everyone is a victim except the white male who is the ultimate oppressor and the source of all evil.

    Since you keep making that claim it's expected that your pony up some evidence at some point.

    But it's okay if you don't because it's your credibility on the line.

    And please stop projecting the things that you do.... It's very unbecoming.

    Please cite an example of "hateful policies" I am creating.

    Or, apologize.

    Sure. A greater percentage of blacks have difficulty establishing clear title to their property and it's difficult and/or impossible for them to get some forms of government help available to homeowners.

    Spoiler alert: That's not possible when one idolizes a monster with no character.

    I'm sure you are familiar with "equity"? Or affirmative action? Where we do not reward based off of merit but instead are racially profiling...ya?

    I'm not ****ing apologizing. Whenever someone states "we are looking for more divirsity!" It actually means "we are putting personal identity above qualifications"

    That's racist. Sorry. People are not stupid.

    Affirmative action USED to be equal access. That you couldn't be denied based on identity. NOW it means we are looking for equal outcomes so we are granting access based on identity. Which is hateful and racist.

    They don't even have to understand that to know what's happening. They are actively doing it now.

    Why are the criminals at the Capitol riots the ones they side with when every single minority killed by cops (often for far less than what Trump's minions did on January 6, 2021) is dismissed as justified?

    They tell me that nobody care about the Capitol riot because of the economy and gas prices under Biden but that's not why they are ignoring that. They are just angry that those of us that don't have fluctuating standards based on superficial labels and societal bigotry don't buy their BS. If it is happening on the world stage to install an Orange psychopath illegally and unconstitutionally, we are expected to buy the nonsense that it doesn't happen every day in every way for minorities in every jurisdiction in this country? I'm not inclined to believe in fairy tales but I'd buy widespread election fraud to the tune of millions before I'd buy that BS.

    Universities know that their product, education, is enhanced when there is variety in the student body.

    Besides academics and indications of drive, they look for variety in wealth, in location (including internationally), and in other dimensions. Race is very obviously an important dimension, especially in a country that has the level of racism we have.

    Education is one of the key ways we can reduce racism.

    Making it illegal to do what is best for education, especially when consistent with an approach to reducing racism is just plain stupid.

    And, none of this is about "equal outcomes".

    Your side doesn’t have fluctuating standards? Your side doesn’t choose which side of an issue to take until they know who the players are. If I said person A shot person B many on the left wouldn’t know what to think until they knew the race, gender, immigration status or religion of both people.

    Since you and a few others go to great lengths to defend minorities, then how come none of ever come to the defense of Ben Carson, Mia Love or Allen West. We’ve had people on this board not only attack them, but also call them race traitors and uncle toms.

    If that isn’t enough, how many left wing groups are against cops, all cops, merely because of the job they hold?

    Be specific. Name one policy written in to law.

    when you exclude someone qualified based on their identity...under the guise of affirmative action...that's racist. Do it enough times and you will create resentment and hate. Especially to those granted access unjustly based on their idenitity.

    You have solved nothing.

    No, it's perpetuation of racism.

    Tit for Tat can go on forever. If you want to end racism, end this.

    What are black people 'excluded' from? Again, name a single law which specifies African American exlusion.

    Which works just as well on the next round of tit-for-tat revenge racism.

    So has the op been able to quote a single person on this entire board stating that racism doesn't exist yet?

    You better grab a case of Snickers bars if you're waiting because it's going to be a while

    Racism exists in law, or it doesn't. Currently the only racism existent in law is against whites.

    Beyond laws, you have only individual private opinion. IE, nothing. Not relevant, not measurable, and certainly not police-able.

    That's anecdote.

    Show us the laws that create this issue specifically for African Americans and no one else.

    Don’t forget, people voted for Obama because it was historic, in other words they voted for him just because he was black and against his opponent because he was white.
