    If you tell people a thing over and over they will see what they are told is there. If you want to talk about systemic racism, literally the current system is against one race, and most of you guys cheer for it.

      Also its likely not just black Americans being conspired against by these US institutions, likely other minority groups in addition, but yes definitely black Americans.

        this aint a race thing… it is a class thing. If you are working person, then yes the private and public mega orgs are conspiring to impoverish you while extracting value of your labor.

        Not just minority groups, they are conspiring against all poor people no matter their race. The divide against the haves and have nots in growing daily.

          Along with the volume of ‘‘don’t you hate Mexicans? Don’t you hate these black folks looting stores in packs of 20? Humm? Better start killing your neighbors and ignoring your boss making 700% of what you make!’’ They are all roots of the same tree.

    Gee… I wonder what could ever have tipped them off?

    Perhaps it’s the fundamentally white supremacist society they exist within?

    Nahhh… couldn’t possibly be that.

      Heres a fun tidbit, some fascist dude who genocided people said that blonde hair and blue eyes was the best.

      Turns out only 2% of people are blonde, but I damn sure see more than 1 in 50, especially in movies/media. Kinda weird that Hollywood loves the same thing Hitler did, eh?

        It’s almost like there’s this thing they’re trying to do… as if they are trying to convince people who look a certain way that they are, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, what humanity really is and should be - and everything that doesn’t fit into that narrow classification should forever be seen as aberrant and abnormal.

        It’s too bad we don’t have a term for that…

        But they had to demonize CRT because it brought up too many uncomfortable questions that were obvious once someone mentioned them.

      People accept that racism is systemic

      People don’t. And the reasons why are, themselves, systemic. Mass media is dominated by white nationalists and peppered with Uncle Tom types willing to say anything to get ahead.

      This creates all sorts of inertia and friction in any political reform campaign, as misinformation and FUD provoke a coordinated backlash against even the most milquetoast social changes.

      The war on drugs was admittedly motivated to try and make it illegal to be Black in America, by disrupting their communities with false accusations of drug use.

      US Senate: specifically designed to give slave states more power. Still not proportional today, still disempowers Black voters who live in more populous states

      Electoral college: specifically designed to give slave states more power. Still in place today, still disenpowers Black voters in more populated areas

      Washington DC: no senators, no congress representatives, tons of Black citizens

      Qualified Immunity: free pass for police to kill Black people

      Felon voting exclusions: more Black people are imprisoned than white people and are barred from voting at all.

      That’s just from memory. There are so many more, but I’m a white guy so I’m ignorant of most of them.

      There is a documented institutional conspiracy against Black people and it’s right out there in the open.

    institution: yet another non-human living asexual hyperobject constantly having sex with itself stopping only to shamefully laugh at the moments in which we respire.
