    But how can you take a few unfortunate (and debatable) incidents and make them into a massive "systemic" racists conspiracy involving hundreds of thousands of police officers and countless independent agencies. And please spare me about more blacks getting arrested without showing they get arrested without cause.

    Bottom line the evidence is not there and makes no sense to begin with.
    Perception and reality can indeed be two different things.

    If you tell a child something, over and over, they grow up believing it is true. What I see today, and for years past, that is exactly what our black children have lived with...they are told you are the subject of "racism", it then becomes the excuse for anything about their life they want it to be. It is sad to see a "skin color' become the focus of who you are.

    Could it be the Dems are rather quiet because they are the ones who promote and want to take advantage of claiming "racism"??? There were more black citizens who held jobs under Trump than ever before. That meant they were able to be equal in taking part of the economic conditions.

    Has he been cancelled yet? The democrats prefer Shaun King to people like Denzel.

    Any road here it is: When a conservative says there is no systemic racism the left respond with "Because you are not black so you don't see it". if that is the case then how is it white liberals are able to identify said racism since they too are not black?
    White liberals love to speak for minorities. They have a long history of patronizing them.

    At some point those minorities need to step up and tell them to f**k off because they can speak for themselves. There is nothing, not a damn thing they cannot do that we do and they don't need a bunch of pompous assheads telling otherwise. Being a democrat or a republican is not the American dream. Being here and going after whatever you want is.

    Those white liberals will be in a world of hurt when they become the target as the Lincoln Emancipation statue has.
