Can You Define 'Systematic Racism'?

The most powerful leader in the world says the country he is in charge of defending is plagued with systematic racism. I'd like to hear YOUR OWN definitions based on what YOU know about this country and not what someone else is telling you. I would expect some facts to base this on if you would be so kind as to include some.

The problem is, if you don't see it or aren't aware of it, you're probably part of the problem.

Here is an excellent article worth reading about it....

YES RICK....what is YOUR definition/experience of this topic?

This would be systemic.

Well, once again I ask you a question, you refuse to answer and then throw it back on me. Very well, I'll answer your deflection.

I do not see this country as being "systematically racist". Yes, there was a time when you could say it was and that is a very bad era of our history which the vast majority of people have learned from. Germans learned the same lesson and I haven't heard anyone say Germany is systematically biased against Jews. Today, my daughter is trying to get into the UNC nursing school and is having a hard time, even though she has 4 years of experience as a CNA in nursing homes and has a 3.9 GPA. If she was black, she would be have already been accepted because they do give that advantage to minorities. That is the case for a lot of other professions because that is something our society decided to do to make up for past racism. I'm fine with that, as long as the student ends up being a good nurse in the end.

All I'm asking for is facts. With the facts I would also expect to include factors that would contribute to higher numbers of alleged racist acts. For example, I could say that Asian kids are far more likely to succeed because they are generally smarter than than other races of kids. That would be leaving out the fact that Asian kids are more likely to have intact family units that are more likely to encourage their children to excel in school. I don't think that is racist to say, its just a statistical fact.

FROM A MEDICAL STANDPOINT

Systematic Racism (n). A false narrative created by progressives to advance their political agenda.

The above definition also is applicable to "systemic racism" as well as "institutional racism".

Hold on here.

Are you asking for the definition of "systematic racism" and not "systemic racism"?

While I appreciate you responding to my questions, I'd really just like to know how YOU feel about the subject and not what someone else thinks that you agree with. Your answer is to make me read an entire article which I would have to assume you agree with 100%.

If you really want to make your point, why not highlight a quote or a paragraph about a specific point and then we could have a discussion that is more productive than "here's a link, go read it". I just think that's a bad way to go since I seriously doubt you would read every link I threw back at you. If we didn't have the lazy way of learning (the internet), we would be forced to have a debate. A real debate requires knowing what you're talking and being able to explain it in a coherent way.

Maybe I'm just getting too old and tired of some people using the words of others to speak for them instead of just speaking for themselves.
