I've seen that term "institutional racism" thrown around a lot lately. Is that the new buzz word? It's already overused. Sweetie, you wouldn't know institutional racism if you live in America. Go to Africa. ANYWHERE in Africa and you'll see it on full display, every day. In the USA, the only thing keep you from being successful in this country is YOU, not me or anyone else reading this post. |
Coworkers? Shouldn't you be, like, IDK....working? Unless you're working for BLM, of course. And judging by some of your posts, it's not too much of a stretch to come to that conclusion. Are you paid by the post, or the hour? |
Thank you for the apology. Accepted. |
Unlike the rest of y'all self-centered desperately determined to be cyber-somebody's, I ain't interested in trying to impress anonymous entities online so you can come to whatever conclusion you like. Don't change the fact that I'm the only one not pitching a fit cause (GASP!!) people aren't holding hands singing "Kumbaya" all throughout America. I know its horrible - heaven forbid chaos and conflicts occur in life cause y'all just ain't used to that stuff but hey...it happens. |
I wouldn't know institutional racism because I am hispanic white. |
Not exactly a new buzzword. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_racism

Then why do you talk about something you know little about? Si eres hispano, sabes perfectamente como funcionan las reglas de este pais...para TODOS, independientemente de la raza. |
If you are the pp who said this: "Sweetie, you wouldn't know institutional racism if you live in America. Go to Africa. ANYWHERE in Africa and you'll see it on full display, every day. In the USA, the only thing keep you from being successful in this country is YOU, not me or anyone else reading this post." Then you obviously don't know the definition of systemic racism, institutional racism or how the rules of this country play out for citizens of certain races and ethnicities. Take yourself back to Stormfront. They'll enjoy your posts there. |
Nope, I'm not that poster. So let me tell you: stop the BS, please. We don't want it here. Entiendes? |
Then why are you accusing me of knowing little about institutional racism? I was addressing the PP. |

Blacks really did pick the wrong case to "make their point" and riot against. The more that comes out about Keith Scott, the more it's apparent that the police acted appropriately and very likely saved their own lives. In addition to everything we now know - he was a ex-felon, served time in prison for shooting someone, had a stolen gun (which he defiantly refused to drop), and had his own wife file a protective order against him - it's now bing reported that the wide herself said "he's a killer" and "threatened to kill his family" in her complaint.

Meant "wiFe" |
I coulda sworn blacks tried to "make their point" in other cases too... Eric Garner
Tamir Rice
Walter Scott
Time and time again they tried to "make their point" - peacefully and positively - but the miscarriages of justice and incidents of unnecessary use of force still continue. The riots weren't just about Keith Scott's case. They were a culmination of fatigue and frustration from seeing this crap happen over and over and over again. |
|
But having violent riots in Keith Scott's case was wrong - and premature. It was based on the assumption that when a cop kills a black guy, the cop is always guilty. And isn't they what prejudice really is? Making assumptions and painting everyone in a particular group with a broad brush, and condemning them without any facts?
The other cases you brought up were travesties. But the one with Scott weakens the point. |

The USA is a big country and police are involved in many calls every day. Note this perp armed with a gun hijacked a car and then ended up in another's house via home invasion culminating in a 5 hour police stand off. Location: Montgomery County MD.
He was armed and police had to go in the house . http://www.mymcpnews.com/2016/09/27/armed-carjacking-leads-to-barricade-suspect-in-custody/ Hmmm. culmination of fatigue and frustration from seeing this crap like this happen over and over and over again. |
