I believe that racism was long eradicated from the American governmental and private systems. We do see racism everywhere from both sides because our brains are programmed to categorize, or create ontologies. Skin color is nearly synonymous with culture, whether it’s Italian v Scottish or Anglo v African. So we individually make cultural judgements on anyone with a different color skin, good or bad.
I say this because the current rally cry is to violently end “systematic” racism. I posit that the left knows there is no systematic racism and they are stoking the flames of useful idiots. A police officer may be racist or react differently because of his life experience with a specific culture. But you’re stupid if you think the that predominantly black and brown police institutions in primarily black and brown communities is somehow systematically targeting black and brown people. There are shitters in the police just like in all walks of life that may have a hate in their heart.
But right now the racist shitters are running around rioting and threatening anyone that isn’t racist against white people. They are obviously the false narrative of “the system is racist” to justify their extreme individual racism.
It has not been eradicated. Systemic racism exists. It is called Affirmative action laws. According to these laws one race gets preference against others.
There is entire System built around. Education system.
Fair enough yes I agree. I guess I was referring to the systematic racism these “protests” are supposed to be about.
