Kyuubi4269 10/12/17 12:24:53 AM #83:	Far-Queue posted... ITP: The CRA passed in the 60s means any racism or racist act committed since then is a non-issue, because "Hey, blacks, ya'll gots rights now. Suck it up!" Kinda. When legally you are completely equal, it means you can get the government involved to force equality. Far-Queue posted... In 2016 alone, there were hundreds of incidents where police shot a black person to death, in many cases the victim was unarmed. And so were many white people, black people also statistically have committed more crimes so inherently they're going to be more subject to law enforcement (and paranoia). Far-Queue posted... No one is saying white people aren't subject to police brutality, even shootings. That's a poor argument and a shitty attempt to divert from the fact that blacks being gunned down by cops is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to systemic racial inequality in the US. It's not systematic, police officers are just allowed to do pretty much whatever they like so racism takes effect. When more police officers are white then, assuming an even spread of racists, non-whites are going to be more subject to racism, this not taking in to consideration that crimes are statistically more likely to be black and officers know this so have confirmation bias. Far-Queue posted... Just because the CRA was passed doesn't mean racism magically ended. You want to lay on the sarcasm with your "A+ for effort" comments, you might want to at least have a halfway decent argument yourself, not some dumbass "the Civil Rights Movement is over because we had a black president" bullshit. Try not being completely out of touch with reality. I know it can be difficult from inside your little cocoon of privilege. Racism will ALWAYS exist, particularly when people are raised with a persecution complex and piss off other people by telling them they're racist for not liking them while being white. Racism is normalised toward white people with how much social leanience black people have (a form of privilege) so we're headed toward breeding racists in response and this will swing back and forth forever if we don't just learn to just drop it and treat people as people and ignore race. --- RIP_Supa posted...
