People can be racists not systems. Systems can’t think. And nobody has the guts to name the people.
That’s incorrect.
Nope. It’s dead on. Humans run the systems. Humans set the policy. Humans think. Systems don’t have any opinions. We don’t hold the humans accountable.
You could not be more wrong.
Well luckily for her… CRT doesn’t teach that.
It is completely incorrect. Jim Crow laws were racist, whether you thought about them or not. Slavery was a racist system, whether you owned slaves or not. No matter your thoughts, feelings or anything else.
They were both systems designed to oppress an identified group on the basis of race.
When you say things like this, it makes your whole team look bad.
I would like the OP to name the specific system(s) that are racist and how they are oppressing people of color. We get these endless generic phrases about “systemic racism it’s everywhere”…
Okay…we need names of the worst systematic racists.
Asking for a friend.

Ohhh yummy conservative cancel culture…
“Nine days after the James G. Martin Center published this piece, reporter Joe Killian at N.C. Policy Watch broke the story that, because of political interference and pressure by conservatives, I had been denied consideration for tenure and instead offered a five-year contract. The story about the denial of consideration went viral, and I was dragged into the very thing that I had tried to avoid as the actions of the Board of Trustees became a national scandal.
So let me get this straight… a well educated black woman… who met every metric for tenure… was denied tenure due to a conservative think tank.
Mmm that system is very effective
Jim Crow laws were put in place by racists. Who are the racists making Jim Crow type laws today? Got any names? If you need help. I have a name.
His name is Fred Systemic.
Who built the system is irrelevant, the system was racist.
Terrible look.
Nope. We need to hold people accountable. Who should we hold accountable?
Terrible excuse.
Except one.
Many Jim Crow laws never actually singled out a race. You did know that… right?
Take the grandfather clause. That was put in place to reduce the number of black people voting because it gave exception to the illiterate… that couldn’t vote… but stating that they could vote if their grandfather voted.
See the problem with that is that black former slaves did not have grandfathers who could vote.
That Jim Crow law… never once mentioned race. Neither did the illiteracy poll tax.
Don’t stop.
Others aren’t willing to abuse the language to produce something that would make sense through your defective filter.

Racism is everywhere. We just can’t find many racists. So we’ll call it “systemic.” That way it takes us off the hook of holding anyone accountable. We can just proclaim it and walk away?
Pretty much it?
No.
…
You do know that there are laws that prohibit discrimination based on race? If racial discrimination happens anywhere today do you know how many Civil Rights attorneys would chomp at the bit to take such cases?

Well let me help then. This topic calls the racism “systemic” when they have the actual names of every person who made the decision that they claim is racist. Does this make any sense to you?
