To be an impartial defender of American's rightsWhy do you think the ACLU was founded?
Lol. What I said.did they get someone elses money?
or do they just not have to give up as much of their own money?
These racist idiots are turning this place into 4chan and stormfront. You basically have to call someone a "n÷=$#@" in order to get banned.Only on Sherdog do racist people tell you that racism doesn't exist
What a great community.
No. You could walk in any place in Dallas and no one is going to even notice you dude. Im white as white gets and have always got along with black folks. Black folks will usually almost give you a nod back if you wave at them or say whatsup. When you grow up in the south, you grow up with all races. We never even thought about race. Social media is going to be the downfall of civilization. Everything is politicized.Is "systemic racism" really a thing in the U.S.? I'm seeing this term being thrown around a lot as of late.
I'll admit there are regions of this country, very small pockets in the grand scheme of things, that I, as a Mexican male, would not venture into. Heck, there are parts here in L.A. where the lines between racism and culturalism get fuzzy. I can only imagine it's the same for blacks in specific regions throughout the country.
I remember working in Pennsylvania and seeing black men with white women walking around at the mall, and no one was batting an eye. But, the second my Hispanic buddy and I walked into a restaurant, bar, etc., you'd literally hear the record skip. One lady at a Cracker Barrel, without hesitation, before even taking our order, said, "you two look different". We advised her we were LEOs working in the area, and everyone went about their business. We laughed it off, but it still felt a little odd. She turned out to be a sweetheart who simply didn't see brownish people all that often, if ever.
So, the term "systemic" tends to lend itself to a grander scheme, one were EVERYONE is involved. Personally, I don't believe that to be true...not even close. As I mentioned before, there are no doubt pockets throughout the U.S. where certain skin colors, cultures, etc. are shunned, even harassed, and unfortunately sometimes injured/killed.
I'm hearing many pastors and political figures stating that "systemic racism" must be eradicated. First, I'll reiterate my belief that there is no such thing as "systemic racism", and I don't see the government, or ANYONE for that matter, doing anything to persuade people from getting stuck in their bubbles, and being less than welcoming to "foreign" cultures.
What that SOB did to George Floyd was absolutely sickening. It's almost as if he went mentally retarded for those 7-8 minutes. I'm hoping to see his partners charged, as well. Personally, I don't know of ANY law enforcement agency that teaches such a technique. BUT, this idiot's actions DO NOT mirror the beliefs, feelings, and/or actions of the 800,000+ sworn law enforcement personnel in the U.S.
Reading up on Chauvin, I found out he had 18 complaints against him during his tenure with his PD, 2 of which were "closed with discipline".There obviously isn't systemic racism in the police. There is a culture of distrust between the black community and police. Olive branches need to be extended, but they also need to be accepted and returned. Of course a cop will be nervous around people who sing fuck the police and of course black people will be nervous around cops when they think they are out to get them.
You know what, man? As a dude who is probably more anti-cop than pro-cop on the continuum, I thank you for your sincerity.Is "systemic racism" really a thing in the U.S.? I'm seeing this term being thrown around a lot as of late.

Probably not the conversation to have when emotions are flaring.You should go out into the protests and get some opinions on this. Make sure you get your opinion out there first...just to set the tone.
Just leave...you're making an ass of yourself.You don't see this prevailing attitude?
You know the answer to this but you are playing stupid. You have walked this earth. You weren't born yesterday.
Why don't you ask if water is wet. It would make as just much sense.

Most racists don't think they are racist. And they like to take the racially oppressed and call them racists for bringing it up.
Only on Sherdog do racist people tell you that racism doesn't exist
What a great community.
