Social "Systemic Racism"

[Jorge Luis Borges]

How many are white males?

Can you clarify this comment? Because your answer could be interpreted to mean that as many LEOs as are white males is as many LEOs who are white supremacists. Is this what you meant? If not, what kind of connection are you trying to make between being a white male and being a white supremacist?

Did you read the report or at least what I linked? The PD was focusing on revenue generation due to demands form the city so they resorted to targeting black citizens for fines and in many cases did so unconstitutionally in addition to arresting them for lawful behavior. In addition many officers used their work emails to send clearly racist communications which were actually forwarded by superiors. So you have a PD that focuses on revenue generation, disproportionately fines, detains, arrests, prosecutes and leverages force against blacks and engages in unambiguously racist communications through official channels. Sorry but that's pretty clear example of systemic racism.

The racial makeup of Ferguson is nearly 70% black. If they were targeting blacks, that would’ve been shooting fish in a barrel. If they weren’t, blacks would still be the demographic they most often encountered.

These racist idiots are turning this place into 4chan and stormfront. You basically have to call someone a "n÷=$#@" in order to get banned.

Most racists don't think they are racist. And they like to take the racially oppressed and call them racists for bringing it up.

Youre just running around screaming that. Most of us "racists" are talking about facts and actual events.

No I wanna know the number so I can then provide my estimate on how many are white supremacists. Because black and hispanic leos aren't white supremacists and really dont care about white females that are leos they are their own category

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.

It's people making excuses. End of story.

The far left has embraced absolute evil, and you are seeing it on television every night (if you're watching the right channel).

Yes. Affirmative action directly codifies racism against whites into law.

Blacks are ~67% of the population and yet

African Americans experience the harms of the disparities identified below as part of a comprehensive municipal justice system that, at each juncture, enforces the law more harshly against black people than others. The disparate impact of Ferguson’s enforcement actions is compounding: at each point in the enforcement process there is a higher likelihood that an African American will be subjected to harsher treatment; accordingly, as the adverse consequences imposed by Ferguson grow more and more severe, those consequences are imposed more and more disproportionately against African Americans.

Thus, while 85% of 64FPD’s vehicle stops are of African Americans, 90% of FPD’s citations are issued to African Americans, and 92% of all warrants are issued in cases against African Americans. Strikingly, available data shows that of those subjected to one of the most severe actions this system routinely imposes—actual arrest for an outstanding municipal warrant—96% are African American

LOL! Because, corporate managers are renowned for being incredibly warm and caring. Some of those bastards would step on their own mothers to grab something off the floor that resembles a nickel!

Um that was my point. Police are the same attitude but more racist and too dumb to be white collar

If those major crimes are lowering every year, why is the prison population rising every year?

Drugs. People in jail for weed overwhelming the system. Had trump decriminalized that yet?

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Nope. I referring to white racists. The "woe is me the white man" game is further racism out of cowardice to simply admit what they are. Terrified.

This sloppy answer doesn't address anything in my post.

As far as white racism goes, there are several flavors.

You've got the right wing redneck racist, who is much maligned, sometimes unfairly, but sometimes deservedly. You've got the gated community rich white liberal who encourages and defends the destruction of black businesses and communities. That type overlaps with the paternalistic white liberal like the lady we saw in the park calling the cop and lying that a black man was threatening her. Neither would consider themselves racist, probably more as allies, but they certainly look down on blacks and have low expectations for their success or decency. You've also got the white guilt liberal, who reflexively opposes the perceived white side and takes the perceived POcolored side in any confrontation. Plenty of them on these boards, as evidenced by the racism displayed in the Covington incident.

Overall, I'd say American whites aren't notably racist and haven't been for at least a generation, though there are the above mentioned exceptions.

"Systematic Racism" = I'm a victim, I've never worked hard or accomplished anything in my life so I'm going to take it out on the "system" in solidarity with other zero accountability basement dwelling LARPers

So again, can you clarify? What percentage of white LEOs do you think are white surpemacists?

At least 10% , if not more depending on the jurisdiction

 

[panamaican]

Probelms with blacks is that they always closed ranks and stuck together. Problem is they still do that even when someone is doing something detrimental to their community.

Well sure. When the police are doing something detrimental to their community, they should close ranks and stick together. When the U.S. government is doing something detrimental to their community, they should probably close ranks and stick together. When local governments are doing something detrimental to their community, the same.

Is that what you were referring to?

 

[MMAGA]

At face value, it’s about as close as you can get to systemic racism WITHIN one PD...can you name any other agency that mirrors these actions? Is Ferguson PD still operating in this manner, or have the bad weeds been yanked out?

 

[MMAGA]

At least you have the decency to post a figure, unlike @KONG-D'SNT-TAP.

Thank you.

The only systemic racism in the United States is against whites.
