It will absolutely go nowhere. [/quote]

Correct. It was a sound trial, the jury delivered their verdict. There’s nothing to overturn. They will appeal but he’s done. As he should be. [/quote]
Agree. Time to stop calling this country systemically racist. Pockets, yes, systemic racism? No. This is the least racist country in the world right now.

Oh my lord. Is that your takeaway? This sounds like "we have a black president, we must be post racist now." We are so screwed.[/quote]
Wherever you believe there’s systemic racism today, please say where exactly.... right here.[/quote][/quote]

Sure.  Off the cuff - Black folks get higher loan rates than whites, even when you control for financial factors, credit scores, etc. Black people are routinely given harsher sentences for similar charges, even when their criminal record a) doesn't exist or b) is "better" than a white defendant. Black people routinely have poorer health outcomes, and researchers can't really scientifically figure out why (hint - it's racism). Black children's traits are labeled negatively, while the same traits are labeled in a positive manner for White children.

For health outcomes, it's not due to racism.  Health outcomes were not disparate in the 1950s and earlier.  Rather, the difference in health outcomes is due to the individual's perception of racism.[/quote]

Many people, including lots of researchers and physicians would disagree with you.  You probably know that already though.
