    Systemic Racism? Think Again.

    America is one of the most racially tolerant nation in the world, but leftists are not really complaining about racism, they want to overthrow the Republic, that makes them an enemy in my view.

    Systemic Racism? Think Again.


    BY DAVID SOLWAYSEP 11, 2020


    Excerpt:



    The funny thing about the word “systemic” is that it more often than not has no referent—that is, it often refers to nothing concrete or observable, but is essentially an expression of unverifiable belief or, in the case of assumed racism or “critical race theory,” a “social justice” delusion. There are systemic realities, of course, but racism in the U.S.—or in my country, Canada—is not one of them.


    When noted black writer, lawyer, and columnist Larry Elder challenged his interviewer Dave Rubin, who assumed the existence of that evanescent something called “systemic racism,” Rubin was unable to come up with a single example of this apparent social evil. There are, of course, empirical examples of racism against blacks, but also against browns, reds, whites, and everything in between. This is a human reality that cannot be expunged—though it can be mitigated. However, despite the spread of BLM riots and protests across the country, there is nothing systemically racist about the United States.

    Yes, I agree, and I think your position is sound.

    The OP really touches on the problem. "Systemic" lends racism this mystical quality that no one can really put their finger on but its advocates insist is nevertheless real.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Yes, mystical -- something to be pondered during meditation, perhaps.

    One of my customers came by the shop today on his final leg of an all day motorcycle ride through Vermont. He was telling me that when he drove through Burlington he was yelled at by a couple of (white) college students, not a quote, but the gist of there rant was blah, blah, racist society blah, blah, you don't understand the struggle, my friend/customer replied, what struggle? I see no racism here. It's systemic they replied, no, it's not, my friend answered...did I mention my friend/customer is a vet...and black...of course they might not have noticed due to the helmet he was wearing.

    I also think they didn't notice the 9mm open carry on his hip, they're lucky they didn't get duct taped to a tree...there's your struggle right there.
