If you think racism isn’t a thing anymore in America

[Anonymous]

Racism is alive and well in the DMV. Witness all the white bubbles.

This is not the first time such racist calls have been made, often of a much subtler nature.

Of course there are still racists in the US. There are racists everywhere else in the world so it is foolish to think that somehow the US will magically have no racists. What we don't have, is racist institutions.

I don't think that's fair. People tend to self segregate based on their culture and comfort level. You can't fault white people if blacks and asians don't move into an area.

Can we fault white people for telling Hispanic-born Americans to go back to their country?

Discriminatory housing practices have had a big role. For example, there was this little thing called redlining..

I don't think the immigration policy leanings of white people in white bubbles around the DMV is what's keeping their neighborhoods white.

"WAS". We are talking about what "IS".

To the right, it's only racist if there's a cross burned, a swastika brandished or a hood worn. Anything short of that is just "very fine people" expressing themselves.

You can't be that simple. The past has a huge influence on the present.

FFFFFalse. I didn’t know the Supreme Court operated through the views of one Justice only. I thought there were nine.

Roberts was the deciding vote and then wrote in the decision that “Our country has changed,” saying racism was no longer a problem and “extraordinary measures” could no longer be justified.

It should surprise no one that within a month, 33 states passed voter suppression laws targeting minorities.

Hon, I grew up in a midwestern city that was and still is about as segregated as you can get.

The DMV area by contrast looks almost like a model of succesful integration. (Almost, I know it's not.)

That chart doesn’t prove your claims.

And specifically how did our last President and Mr Holder incite violence? You may have disagreed with them on policy issues, which is fine. But incite violence? Please be specific.

I'm guessing you didn't listen to the news much last month.

In response to Michelle Obama's comments, Eric Holder said, ‘When they go low, we kick them. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about.'"

Of course it does.

Translate those rates into absolute numbers, and you get thousands of extra black lives taken between 2014 and 2016, and an improvement i 2017.
