That is not the purpose of the OP. Me not pointing out things that can be addressed and changed is not proof that systemic racism does not exist. There are video examples of systemic racism in the police service in the housing system in the banking system. Change is dependant on what people decide to do.
You misunderstand I never mentioned a boogyman, systemic racism is people within the system using the system to oppress other people based on their race.
What is your point? No one said systemic racism is the answer to anything.
The oppressors are being identified every day. You are trying to twist this as if people are saying systemic racism is the oppressor. Surveys have found that black males are likely to get longer prison sentences than white males for the same crimes. The oppressors would be the judges who practice that kind of racism.
No one is interested in systemic racism as an entity. People are interested in the people who practice their racism using their position in the system.
You can take whatever you like seriously whenever you like, that is not proof of it existing or not. You already admitted that racism exists. I just pointed out to you that racist people who operate in the system use the system to promote their racism...
Since you cannot find systemic racism let me help you.
According to the 1860 census, 99 percent of slave owners were Democrats.
The fugitive slave laws were proposed by Democratic Northern Legislature, signed by Democratic Governors, and enforced by Democratic jurisdictions.
Notice: In April 1864, the Senate, responding in part to an active abolitionist petition campaign, passed the Thirteenth Amendment to abolish slavery in the United States. Opposition from Democrats in the House of Representatives prevented the amendment from receiving the required two-thirds majority, and the bill failed. Note, the nation was at war, the Congressional leaders that met in Washington were northerners only.
Civil Rights Act of 1866 Andrew Johnson [Democratic] vetoed the bill, and though Congress successfully overrode his veto and made it into law in April 1866.
President Johnson made clear his opposition to the 14th Amendment as it made its way through the ratification process, but Congressional elections in late 1866 gave Republicans veto-proof majorities in both the House and Senate. Southern states also resisted, but Congress required them to ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments as a condition of regaining representation in Congress, and the ongoing presence of the Union Army in the former Confederate states ensured their compliance.
The 15th amendment passes in both Houses without one Democrat voting yes, the Democratic vote was either no or abstain.
The black codes were enforced by Democrats.
The KKK was the strong arm of the Democratic Party. Every Jim Crow law was introduced by Democratic Legislature, signed by Democratic Governors, and enforced by Democratic jurisdictions.
Every Confederate statue that the Democratic Party wants to disappear are of Democrats.
And today: Johnson's Great Society which trapped the poor minority populations for generations. Dilapidated housing, broken families, illiteracy, despair, and hopelessness are what Johnson's Great Society brought. I could be describing an 1800's slave plantation or Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Skid Row, etc.
Before Johnson's Great New Deal black single mother households were 20% of total black households compared to today 70% of the total. You might attribute the 20% to slavery or Jim Crow, but the 70% is after Johnson.
All Democrat.
And what is so diabolical is that the oppressed vote into office their oppressor's.
