[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh you got a a solution to the disparity with which some citizens find themselves on the wrong end of an officer's nightstick than others?
You got a solution to the propensity for some citizens to end up getting shot dead by the police instead of apprehended and arrested?
Let's hear.

Step 1. Obey all commands given by the officer.[/quote]

That Step 1 displays Systematic Racism, because apparently black Americans are genetically incapable of doing so.

For them, it's like saying Step 1. Jump to the moon.[/quote]

It is actually called [b]systemic[/b] racism. It can also be called [i]institutional[/i] racism.

But your post?

Just plain ole racism. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
Not exactly a new buzzword.

[quote]Institutional racism was explained in 1967 by Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael) and Charles V. Hamilton in Black Power: The Politics of Liberation, stating that while individual racism is often identifiable because of its overt nature, institutional racism is less perceptible because of its "less overt, far more subtle" nature. Institutional racism "originates in the operation of established and respected forces in the society, and thus receives far less public condemnation that [individual racism]." [/quote][/quote]
