[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of limiting the focus on CRT, maybe couch it as a Sociology club. This way they could address a broad scope of social topics including but not limited to race, religion and economic status, etc[/quote]

Kind of a luxury to be able to treat structural racism as just another debate club topic and have it drowned out by other issues that are higher priorities for white people. [/quote]

If there are instances of racism perpetrated by individuals or by organizations (eg redlining) then one can have a course of action to redress it. But for structural racism there no identifiable culprit or even an identifiable course of action except for some top down measure to fix the disparity. In the end that doesn’t really solve anything because it’s not addressing the causes of such disparity.[/quote]

A better way of putting it is that structural racism doesn't exist, but that there do exist disparities in society of innumerable types.

When a disparity seems unfavorable to some ethnic groups it is labeled "structural racism."  The defining characteristic of whether or not a disparity is "structural racism" is entirely in which group appears to be the "loser."

Yes, you said it better than I did.[/quote]
