Please help me out here: Define racism, in your view. And explain systemic racism, as it exists in modern society.
Briefly, if you would. Thank you.
To me. Systematic racism is an inherent design where due to social constructs, you treat people of different skin tones in a different way than you would treat others. This can also be expanded to other areas, such as names.
For instance.
Police profiling.
People with off names not receiving looks on resumes. Women named Laquanda or men named Tu. People often assume I am Asian because my name is a typical Asian name.
Bank loans being denied because of the color of their skin.
These things do still happen. Just not as much as before. It's getting better and that's a good thing, but we should be striving for there to be no gap between "races" as it were.
To speak on the previous video I posted.
Would you agree that in this country, property ownership is the number one way wealth is generated?
Would you agree that loans for property were historically denied to minorities?
Would you believe that loans denied 50 years ago (some today, but less) would have a impact on further generations of children?
I am certainly willing to admit the black community's faults in generating issues among themselves.
Are you willing to admit that racism still causes issues?
Perhaps being a product of both races gives me a more reasoned insight, but I see where the problems are on both sides.
To add another bit.
Do I believe that people like Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton have the best interest of the black community? Fuck no.
