i don't think in black or white at all, and that's the whole point im tryna make
it's the whole narrative of 'all white people are racist' that's becoming increasingly popular that im trying to push back against. people buy into it because it's a convenient simplification but it's not true. and it makes things worse by causing black people to hate white people that aren't their enemies
all im tryna say is it's much more nuanced than both sides of the media would have people think
You have bought into the simplification of race and society which is why you make these posts.
There isn’t a “both sides” of the media if the so-called “left media” only tries to herd black people into voting for another opportunist.

luxury whip doesn't think systemic racism is real
he lives in australia who gives a f*** what he thinks
Yes? It was literally a white supremacist rally
but that's objectively not true, where'd you hear that?
i followed that event very closely. yes there were inevitably white supremacists there, but there are also a lot of people who simply believe the removal of monuments is dangerous because it's important to remember history so that we aren't doomed to repeat it.
making that argument is the same as saying there were people on the moderate left aswell as radical anarchists/communists there. both sides had people with healthy views aswell as radical despicable people. that's simply inevitable when you have a large mass gathering of people

you're right, i don't
i believe there are racist individuals, not racist institutions
you're right, i don't
i believe there are racist individuals, not racist institutions
what do you call it when these racist individuals make up an institution
Yes? It was literally a white supremacist rally
That's what it became, but it was originally about them trying to form a "united front" on the right (thus the name) against taking down statues or the radical left or whatever. They were trying to appeal to libertarians and regular MAGA types.
Going to something like that to begin with isn't smart, and once the tiki torches came out they should have figured out what was going on, but to say that everybody who went there was a white supremacist is wrong.

You’re a f***ing idiot
what do you call it when these racist individuals make up an institution
okay
so what percentage of the individuals in a given institution have to be racist for it to become a racist institution?

Man. That's not what systemic racism is. It's not a group of people discussing how to keep black people down. There's a fundamental misunderstanding of the facts and basic terms here. I tend to oppose a lot of the radical ideas OP has but racist policies and businesses have and continue to hold black people back. You should do some basic research on what people mean when they talk about systemic racism

exactly
so the argument is that it's at such a subconcious institutional level, that nobody who's part of these institutions even actually realises what they're doing

you do think that. that was the example that you gave as your assumption of what a racist institution would look like - as if it has to be that juvenile and blatant.
on top of the other post, here is a different example looking at health disparities: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4306458/pdf/nihms645189.pdf
