real talk. Go climb a wall of s.and n!gger lovers like Teysha believe not only can they be civilized, they can also contribute to western society
Look, I'll cut to the chase with the caveat that I have zero practical research behind this. It's my belief that the roots of our current state of systemic racism predates the founding of this nation. It's a product of Western Civilization and, as much as we wish it weren't, it's most prevalent in the US because, frankly, we're among the youngest of that group. It still exists worldwide..indeed it takes many different forms in other areas ... see the immigration struggles with Muslims or Middle Easterners in the older nations.

Unfortunately the "government" is not an en y. You and we all have been lied to and get lied to daily. Again, the government IS NOT AN EN Y. It is a tool.
and like any tool, it can be used for good or for evil. and like any tool, someone needs to control it. I think it's pretty safe to say who "controls" the government.
This is not by design, in the classical sense. It is a result of systemics.
Yes and no. The war on drugs was engineered when it first started, and every once in a while an "engineer" comes and modifies it accordingly to the "design"
More about the war ABOUT drugs, not the war ON drugs.
Oh. Wait. Never mind. This guy is not teaching anyone or anything.
I feel like I'm in an episode of Fringe and The Observers are manipulating reality, when you post.
Oppression is systemic. You could say the same exact thing about any minority group: women, immigrants, religious minorities, gays, etc... Hierarchies exist today just as they did 100 years ago just as they did 1,000 years ago. They're inevitable as a part of human society. As a result, it's kinda stupid to say "racism exists at an ins utional level" or "systemic racism is still pervasive" because racism, along with other forms of oppression, is inevitable. Utopia does not, nor will it ever, exist.
Rather than debating over the finer points of whether racism exists (it does), and at what levels, the discussion should really be about what you do with that inevitability. Frankly, the situation today has reached a level of never-before-seen equality that it's really comical to claim clandestine structures of racism of deep-seated cultural hatreds still hold blacks (or any minority) down. Really, people that point to ins utionalized or culturally ingrained racism are really coming up with excuses for their own non-mobility. That's not to say racism still doesn't exist and still doesn't have effects. Oppression is inevitable; you can choose to move on or you can whine like a little .
Troof.Oh. Wait. Never mind. This guy is not teaching anyone or anything.
No. The war ON drugs. Law enforcement has purposely put the frontlines of the war ON drugs in the hood. The frontlines could easily be some place else, like the suburbs, the financial systems, etc.
All you have to do is swim through education for about a decade, like I did, and you'll see that it is not inevitable. You can also see classical studies and approaches, within the context of education, that are completely successful at identifying and reversing the effects of systemic racism.... effectively banishing it. Inevitability is a cop out.
Gimme some examples, because I don't know what you mean by "swim through education."
50 years ago, it was not inevitable that we would have a black president, or SSC Justice, etc....
not to mention the 3 strike laws, rockefeller laws that followed that put young people in color in prison for the rest of their lives for crimes whites only served a year for. the prison industry is bringing in billions of dollars and amerikkka will make sure it thrives.
I was a classroom teacher for 10 years. Hold on and I'll link you some articles written by Jim Schultze.
I was a part of some the studies he refers to.
That's half of my point - things have gotten much better. But the fact that the concept of a black president was uninteligible in 1955 doesn't mean we're on some grand teleogical journey towards racism-free land.
Oh please. If LE "wanted it" in the suburbs do you really think soccer moms would suddenly be slinging meth and having drivebys with their 9's and their minivans?
The fact that these successes (which is awesome, I'm not trying to disparage you) didn't spill over outside the school setting suggests that they were less-than-effective.
They didn't spill because they were, largely, local experiments. Just when this was picking up steam, 9/11 happened. NCLB emerged from the cluster as, well, a cluster .
The research behind it was solid. The implementation was hideous.
the fake outrage in here is digusting. y'all don't give a damn about the murder stats because its blacks killing blacks. when blacks are gunning down white people on the regular then we can have a race discussion lol.
The central concept in these studies was the nullification of systemic racism in education.
Oh, I completely agree. But the progress made has been largely the result of "low hanging fruit" if such a metaphor can be made here.
Now another level of hard work begins.
